Q: It’s kinda weird that Fukushima was (the plant) built by general electric, and didn’t Kurt Vonnegut work for General Electric for a while?
A: After World War II, Kurt Vonnegut worked in the public relations department for the General Electric research company. GE hired scientists and let them do pure research, and his job was to interview these scientists and find good stories about their research. Vonnegut felt that the older scientists were indifferent about the ways their discoveries might be used.
