Nuclear power is green technology...

There has been nothing much to say other than yes we may, no we might not; hence the relative quiet and abandon of this site, you might say.
But the latest announcement by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister that Malaysia will have its first nuclear power plant by 2021 yesterday is interesting. It came from a Green Technology Minister, a tacit recognition that nuclear power is green indeed, and the year is closer than what was orginally floated around, 2025.
Other details such as site, rated power (small, large), type (PWR, BWR, CANDU), and vendor have not yet been announced. Let's wait a bit more...
The news, however, made way to only two local newsprint media, Star Online and Business Times section of the New Strats Time. The news is also carried by a web-based World Nuclear News.
