Gibo Considers Nuclear Power

"We need to study other alternative sources of energy, to include nuclear power. It is possible to use it safely."

This is what 2010 presidentiable Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro said on an interview with Blogwatch.ph.

Would you vote for a president like him who considers nuclear power as an "alternative" source of power?

I think I won't ?

It is proven that nuclear power is too expensive to build(and sometimes a breeding ground for corruption). It is too dangerous to our environment and to humans. Building a nuclear power is like building a massive time bomb. Remember Chernobyl in 1986. We don't want to let that happen to our country. The problem with nuclear wastes also adds to the problems. Where are we gonna dump those wastes.

Yes, there are more other alternatives to produce electricity and energy, BUT NOT NUCLEAR POWER.

You might say, renewable energy resources are also expensive like nuclear power. Maybe, but think about this. Why don't we invest on something that could help lessen the problem of climate change?Can we invest for something that could save you and your children.

On the other hand, Nicanor Perlas, with the help of national and global civil societies, help stop the operation of the BATAAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT and other NPPs that former president Marcos planned to built. He knew the dangers of nuclear power and he believes it could solve the issue of power crisis and climate change.

So ask yourself, would you vote for someone who considers nuclear power ?

The answer is in your vote.

I would discuss more about nuclear power and my next post.
