Developing Countries Talk About Using Nuclear Power
By Nick December 18, 2007
The developing countries are facing a energy crisis due to the quick depleting of the fossil fuels, which will stop their economies to proliferate. To keep their economy up they need to import energy from other countries, for which they pay large amounts in exchange.
Countries like Indonesia, Thailand and other countries from Southeastern Asia are in a big need of energy. The energy minister for Thailand says that they are importing 60% energy, and if they want to keep it up they will need to find new ways. To do so the countries want to turn on nuclear power which, they say, is a better option.
By using nuclear energy they can stop the depleting of the fossil fuels. The nuclear energy doesn’t release harmful carbons when being produced. George W. Bush agreed with the nuclear energy, and he said that the developed countries should help the developing ones.
Greenpeace activists also agreed with the nuclear energy. Although it seems that the nuclear usage is better than using fossil fuels they should consider the ill-effects. Also they should think about the cost of the buildings and the safety of using it, no one forgot about Chernobyl.
