[SIZE=4]Should the Philippines reconsider nuclear power?[/SIZE]

Reasons:

- expensive cost of power generation using existing power plants (world's most expensive electric rates)

- expensive cost of power generation using renewable "green" sources (wind, solar, etc)

- safe nuclear power station designs available.

- "safer" alternative nuclear fuel possible through use of "Thorium" (more plentiful ore, less nuclear waste)

- alternatives to long term storage for nuclear waste is possible (using atomic alchemy)

- past nuclear accidents happened on very old nuclear stations including the 40 year old Fukushima nuclear power station. Most existing older stations have upgraded their systems to present safety standards.
