Naoto Kan, Japan's prime minister during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and nuclear policy in Japan following the accident
06/10/2010
Kan told a parlimentary inquiry in May 2012, that Japan should not use nuclear power. He said "the nuclear village," referring to nuclear power companies, bureaucrats and researchers, had hijacked Japan's nuclear policy and was trying to put Japan back on the same course. He cited the days following the accident when it got to the point where the evacuation of Tokyo was considered, getting to the "verge of national collapse."

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.
