The Japanese government has come up with a plan that would make it possible for TEPCO to pay claims for damages that are estimated at $124 billion or ten trillion yen. The Japanese government will create a special body for handling the claims. This body will have the authority to issue government backed bonds which will be paid from future earnings of TEPCO. Other electric power companies are also expected to contribute to the cost, and electric power bills are expected to rise to help cover the cost. Support from the opposition LDP will be needed to ensure passage of this bill in parliament.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
