Exclude nuke, coal plants to ease power woes, PNoy urged

BALANGA CITY, Bataan: The Nuclear Free Bataan Movement (NFBM) wants President Benigno Aquino 3rd to veer away from nuclear and coal-fired power plants to solve the looming power crisis.

“We want to tell the President that the solutions should stay away from coal-dependency exhibited by his Philippine Energy Plan especially in the light of real climate change implications and the worrisome revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in Morong town,” said NFBM chair Rev. Msgr. Antonio Dumaual and Sec. Gen. Francisco Honra on Wednesday.
