Singapore to build nuclear power plant in Southwest islands
- Thread starter Trout
- Start date
As for electricity prices being pegged to oil prices, even though we generate power using nat gas mostly, if most S'poreans don't wimp out next elections like they always do, we'll be seeing some changes. I voted for SDP last election, so I did my part. Pls have some balls and make the PAP sweat a bit.
heard of peak oil? nuclear is the way to go ultimately. if the nuke melts down, we'll all be dead in a jiffy anyhow, its the indonesians and malaysians that will suffer the chernobyl hell anyhow.
Anyway, Malaysia and Indonesia are considering nukes as well, so we'll lose out if we don't.
Considering? Man you sure are behind times by decades. Both Malaysia and Indonesia have nuclear reactors.
Matlasia have nuclear plants? pray tell where please?
Just outskirt of KL. General Dynamics Triga nuclear reactor. Indonesia has two or three of these I think. Very popular, safe, relatively inexpensive and available for sale from the US since 80s (as long as not classified enemy country) with various upgrades since. Thailand has one too long ago installed just outskirt of Bangkok, and I understand that they're ordering another one.
Fact is, most of first world countries' domestic and business electricity are powered by nuclear reactors. Oil prices don't affect electricity bills much anymore. But oil is still crucial to vehicles. There's no way they could fit a nuclear engine into any land vehicles, from small cars to big trucks, however big. As cars and vehicles are big biz in the first world, so oil and oil prices are still important to them. They've figured out how to fit a nuclear engine into super aircraft carriers and super submarines, though they still haven't figure out how to fit a nuclear engine into any aircraft, however big.
Agreed. Oil is more valuable for things other than power generation. Absolutely critical for air travel.
Cheers,
Trout
huh are you sure? Is this a nuclear power plant or some small scale nuclear scientific research facility? Very different.
Here is recent article:
Malaysian utility Tenaga may construct the country's first nuclear power plant at a cost of US$3.1 billion but is braced for objections from the public, a report said on Tuesday [22 Jul 2008]. "We are looking at about US$3.1 billion for a 1,000 MW plant," said Mohamad Zam Zam Jaafar, head of Tenaga's nuclear energy taskforce. He said Malaysia going nuclear post-2020 was looking more and more like a necessity rather than a probability, and Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said in June that Malaysia may consider nuclear power to meet its long-term energy needs amid surging global oil prices. Currently, half of Malaysia's power plants run on gas. Other sources include coal and hydropower.
- It has been years, even decades in the making, but it looks like Malaysia's nuclear energy plans are starting to look more concrete, now that we have a dollar figure (US$3.1 billion), a power generation figure (1000MW), and a tentative date ("post 2020"). The figures look about right for a single typical mid-sized nuclear power plant module.
Provided there are no delays, it will be almost just in time for Malaysia's crude oil and gas production to peak and then to start their respective catastrophic declines. Yet another example that affirms my theory that producer countries with declining fossil fuel production tend to plan ahead for peak oil (and gas). There's really nothing quite like seeing your country's fossil fuel production steadily drop from year to year. Meanwhile, consumer countries like Singapore don't seem to have much plans beyond building LNG terminals, an interim stop-gas measure if there was any.
A nuclear-powered Malaysia would have access to cheap, reliable energy that does not produce greenhouse gases that cause global warming and climate change. And they would steal a march on their supposedly more high-tech and sophisticated southerly neighbour too. If Malaysia were to go nuclear, so should Singapore.

Singapore ruling party already fleeced the sheep !
Money all stored away offshore . It's time to sink the ship and legacy ! Cover up the tracks .
Fuck! Build a nuclear plant is too fucking dangerous, is LKY or LHL brains are fried???
First they approval Casino, next they approved brothel, next they approved nuclear plant, next they approved legalized drugs.
Fucking hell! Singapore had become a place of gangs prostitutes, drugs and thief. I think our Lee Kuan Yew had not only became a vampire, he had upgraded - DEMON!!!
I checked with my Malaysian source. They bought a nuclear reactor ago decades and installed it in a facility outside KL. But somehow it was never turned on as power supply as they haven't figured out how to cable up the nuclear powergrid, and hiring foreign engineers look too expensive. So yes, they're still using it for researching and still searching.
No, no they will approve euthanasia next, so that unless asshole in this forum will not be a slave in this cuntry...... he he he.....

Not the same asshole.
He is FuckSamLeong who is nicer unlike me who will happily kick your ass. So what are u going to do about it? Similar threads
