MERGED: Nuclear Power Plant facilities in RP; possible?

[7DMM]

Bords, refresh me which part of the constitution kay gitay-an na ako Pol Sci 101...hehe.

1987 philippine constitution Art. II Section 8. The Philippines, consistent with the national interest, adopts and pursues a policy of freedom from nuclear weapons in its territory.

hope this would do.hehehehe reading the constitution again made me think na "nuke weapons" ra man diay ang gi ban and not "nuke power"

Shall the Philippines shift to Nuclear Power Plants?

I say YES due to the following reasons:

1. Our Hydro power is limited to big islands and the water supply is not steady.
2. Our Geothermal is mostly Wet Steam not like the Dry Steam type of other countries like US. Eventually, maybe they will run out of steam.
3. Coal is dirty and we don't have a local supply.
4. Diesel is good but we have not developed our own oil fields yet.
5. Bio-Diesel is impossible in the next 20years. Plus, it consumes food that should have gone to the plates of the poor.
6. Solar is unstable, too expensive and too inefficient per killowatt hour it produces.
7. Wind, not all the islands have it and it is unstable.

How about reason(s) NOT to?
1. BOOM!
2. We dont have a place to store the radioactive and toxic waste.
3. We dont have the Money and Resources.

My Wild Alternatives
1. Why not build a DAM? in between islands? ^_^. its possible. like in between cebu and bohol.
2. Human powered powerplants. Just keep on cycling to power the generator. we have enough people to keep it running for the next hundred years?? wakekek
3. Biofueled power plants anyone? one that is powered by human feces. Beat that!

yes, "nuclear weapons" ra ang gi mention.

if we go nuclear for power generation, it won't violate our constitution coz all it says was "nuclear technology for weapons", not power or electricity generation...

if we go nuclear - we need to buy uraniums.

wa na ta monay to buy it. considering its a raw materials for weapons of mass destruction.

I don't think RP can afford it. Gaka crash man gani atong mga airplanes ug helicopters kay gipangtay-an na. LOL

[lecreigh]

can we afford it? and i dont think we have the resources needed to shift to that..

[xxkatgorgeousxx]

makabarato ang pilipinas ani..let's just hope di mubuto ang planta..

[zurita10]

hubas daan ang project sa mga bulsa sa mga officials. Core meltdown. Pwede mana nuclear power plant, e butang lang sa luzon dapit, para kung mag meltdown, sila ra ma hurot. evil grin.

Power plant? In the Philippines? You must be kidding!
They can not even control properly they "normal" power...
If they would build a power plant, I would leave the country very quick...

not in this generation. at least times 2 tingali ang kickback. noble idea but the govt officials as they are now, puro ra gyud corruption. next evolution na lang when we hopefully become a better race.
