Agreed... coal plants are awful polluters either for people or the environment. Nuclear energy is cleaner for sure but there is still the problem of recycling nuclear wastes... Anyway, in a country like ours, aside from the obvious problems of volcanoes, quakes and violent typhoons, how can we handle the critical maintenance of a nuclear power plant as even the word "maintenance" is not understood by 99 per cent of people like the ones handling the maintenance of power lines in the provinces ! They just act when it's about to break or when it's broken already!!! And I even don't speak about corruption yet!!!
To me, it's far too dangerous for a country like the Philippines... I'd rather better develop clean energies like solar, wind or hydro
