nuclear power is the forward button

There has been talks that the Malaysian goverment are going to set up the first our very own Nuclear Power Plant by the year of 2021 and for all those anti-nuclear people out there, sorry to break the news to you but its true. Infact, Tenaga Nasional Berhad together with Malaysian Nuclear Agency have agreed terms with the goverment with a possible set up of the first Nuclear Power Plant by the year 2021.

Its not so bad after all actually and dont be let down by what happened in Chernobhyl or the one in Fukshima recently. Firstly, it has been like 25 years since Chernobhyl, technology has come a long way ever since. and secondly, for those well versed with the technical terms of the operations of a nuclear power plant, the accident in Fukushima happened as a reason of fault in the operators.The point being is that if the right plan is put in place, a safe and clean source of energy can not only produce massive quantity of energy for a cheaper price, it would also help in reducing carbon emmission and most importantly, green.

For instance, take a look at France;

Virtually the whole of France's electricity is powered by 60 nuclear power stations.



There are 20 nuclear power stations on the French coast south of Calais.


adding to the fact that;

Nuclear power produces no carbon dioxide - it's zero carbon.



Nuclear fuel is 10 million times more powerful than coal.

An air hostess receives more radiation than a nuclear power worker.



Every new nuclear power station is strong enough to withhold a 9/11 type terrorist attack.


So people, we are gonna die of one thing or another, lets just say YES to nuclear energy and use all our technology to keep it safe.
