GE designed the Mark I containment vessel used by reactors at Fukushima One, as reported here, one of which appears to be leaking water underneath due to an explosion.
GE's current chairman, Jeff Immelt, defends the nuclear industry here, even with what is happening. He recently replaced Paul Volcker as the head of Obama's outside team of economic advisers, and is said to be close to the president.
GE's containment design has been challenged from the beginning, as reported here and here, including by three of its designers who quit rather than lend their names to it.
President Obama, who should be bothered by the appearance of impropriety but isn't, is carrying on with what are in comparison mere frivolities while our most important ally in East Asia is experiencing its worst crisis since the second world war.
Is it because he doesn't want to spoil GE's efforts to win new reactor business in India?
Jeff Immelt should resign immediately from Obama's team.
And so should Obama. He is a disgrace.
Fascist pigs.
