Nowadays, the nuclear energy is the greenest energy in the Earth. It is greener as we compared with the other power generating plant in Malaysia. Other construction of power plant is using high amount of concrete to build the structure. As we know, concrete will release high amount of carbon dioxide in the air. For example, now we have under construction Bakun Dam located at Sungai Balui Sarawak. This dam will be the tallest concrete dam in the world and becoming one of the largest dams in Asia. The dam has about 16.71 million cubic meters of filled volume and catchment area about 14,750 km square. The gross storage capacity is 43,800 million cubic meters. Can you imagine how much concrete is required to build this dam? How much carbon dioxide will be released by the concrete? How much environmental creatures need to be sacrificed with that large amount of catchment area? Absolutely, having the nuclear power plant is A GREAT IDEA.
As we can see from TNB itself, but not from political view, TNB actually not completely produce the electricity itself. TNB also depends to the other producer such as IPP (Independent Power Plant). The IPP is owned by individual party such as Tan Sri Al-Bukhary, Vincent Tan and so forth. Because of that, TNB need to buy the electricity from them, then TNB sell to us. We can see that, the price of electricity is indirectly depends from other producer. Then Malaysian life will be affected with the rise of fuel cost and operation cost of IPP. As an alternative, the nuclear energy is more profitable than other energy production. This could help to reduce the electricity cost and the Malaysian should think about it.
