RP urged to consider nuclear power |
|
The energy panel of the Congressional Commission on Science,
Technology and Engineering (Comste), urged Monday that the
Philippines re-explore seriously the nuclear power option and clean
coal technology to lessen its dependence on fossil fuel-driven
energy mix that has become more expensive.
“We realize that the nuclear option will
entail a lot of public consultations and debate, but there are new
developments in the nuclear industry that merit a reexamination of
this technology,” Dr. Francisco Viray, a former Energy secretary
and panel head, said at the Comste en banc meeting at the Sofitel
Philippine Plaza.
