There are more options that we could consider before jumping
into the nuclear energy option. Other than economic benefits and
some military advantage we don't really need, I do not see how it
could benefit majority of the people in Singapore. Moreover the
risk is high and it is almost unavoidable, although no one could be
sure of the scale of the disaster and when.
Solar energy is one of the feasible options and it has been
implemented quite successfully in many cities with some helps of
the local government. I believe we should seriously consider this
option. Wind energy is another option that we must not rule out
deliberately. With proper consideration and planning, I believe we
could easily put up some wind farms in Singapore or its nearby
islands.
If people in other countries could benefits from electricity
generated by wind and sun thousands of kilometers away, I see no
reason why we could not construct such wind and solar power
generation farms in our neighbouring countries such as Indonesia,
Brunei and Malaysia.
we could have a joint effort to produce clean energy for Asean
members!
