are you infavor of nuclear power plant in the philippines

Good choice of topic and yes I am in favor for a nuclear power plant in the Philippines. Having a nuclear power plant does have issues like in bataan but where can we get more power without it? I mean almost everyday now our city here in cebu is now having schedules for brown outs. It is every 9am morning and that is frustrating because it disrupts our business. I also am favor to other alternative power plants like the hydro and wind but I don't recommend solar because its too expensive. I hope our government sees this as a major disadvantage in our country not as a money making opportunity. This is always the issue that is why that nuclear power plant in bataan wasn't able to be cleared to be open.

I am not in favor of setting up a nuclear power plant in the Philippines. As per the record, our government had already set up one but it seemed that it's purpose was forfeited. The installation of such will be of great risk espcially when it comes to public safety and it's technical issues of its operation. However, if the government would push through with any tentative plan in setting up one then the construction will still depend on the public's acceptance and approval.

I'm not in favor on having a nuclear power plant here in our country. There are other ways to get more power and a nuclear power plant is not the answer. Wind, Solar, Water, there are so many ways to get power, all we need to do is put more focus to it and try to find more innovative ways to improve these.

Hello strawberry1012? Good day to you! Regarding the discussion about the nuclear power plant? I'm not in favor to use it because i know the bad effect of it. If ever we encounter problems about it like leaks. Leaks of nuclear was really dangerous to the health that's why it may cause a massive destruction of living. Even thought the benefits of it was really good still the most important is the safety. Anyway, if you are looking for a solution of electricty problem. I think the best to solve it is by simply save energy and build more solar panels, wind mills.

Nope, I object. We already had a bad experience about it. And we are still paying it until now. The Philippines is a very rich country when it come to natural resources. The problem is our government and our people are neglecting it. We can harvest electricity though these natural resources without putting-up another nuclear power plant. It only needs to be funded well by the government to fully materialized its potential. Another thing, our country is within the "ring of fire" (Earthquake prone country) extending from North of Luzon down to the South of Mindanao. Can anyone imagine what will happen if a nuclear power plant is hit by a strong earthquake here. Disaster, that I can be sure off.

As long as the nuclear power plant is of the safest kind and there's less than 0.00001% chance of leakage, it might be well worth considering having it set up. But since it is expensive other power sources have to be considered although they produce less. How about geothermal plants? There should be an improvement in scouting sites that produce geothermal power so that these plants can be built soon enough to cover the needs of the filipino people. Our country is a volcanic archipelago so geothermal sites must be abundant and a good bet. Given the fury of the people today, the nuclear plant idea is not going to win anytime soon.

Why not? if other developed countries have their own nuclear power plants i think we should as this is a sign of progress. On the other hand, i'm worried about the damage it will create if an accident will happen. And there's the nuclear waste that we have to consider as well. There should be extensive research on the pros and cons of having a nuclear power plant. We may need it to address the growing demand for power but we should not focus our attention to the short term benefits but rather on the long term benefits are well. There are alternative ways such as wind and water power to begin with and of course solar power as well. If every household is equipped with solar panels to generate enough energy for their own consumption, there's probably no need to build a nuclear power plant and avoid the risks involved altogether.

It's true that we are having this energy crisis. But there are things to be considered. In the current situation of our country, I don't think we will be able to afford a nuclear power plant. Also, maintaining it is costly and the consequences if not properly maintained would be dangerous. We are dealing with nuclear power here and nuclear leaks and other stuff will bring danger on towns and places near it. Personally, I am not against in putting up these plants. All I worry is that politicians here are so corrupt that they may try to steal the money alloted for the plant for personal uses. If ever this happens, they pose a threat to the safety of the people.
