In November 2011 when asked about the Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO's) deteriorating finances, a Japanese official commented, "This is a war between humans and technology. While that war is being fought, we should not talk about bankruptcy." The unnamed official, perhaps inadvertently, alluded to something more than the financial issues here; the fact that technological fixes are no longer an option and that Japan, sixty-six years after the bomb and fifty-five years after it welcomed atomic energy, finally is beginning to come to terms with the true cost of overreliance on nuclear power
