TEMPO Interactive, Bandung: The Minister for the Environment Rachmat Witoelar, rejected the development plan of the nuclear power plant (PLTN). “It is a pollutant,” he said yesterday.
He said that Indonesian workers are not ready to manage nuclear plants, and its construction is expensive. With the same budget which is around US$1.2 billion, he prefers to build a geothermal plant rather than a PLTN.
He said the renewed energy would replace fossil energy. He mentioned that the priority of alternative energies should be geothermal, solar, wind, and plants. He refused the argument that renewed energy is expensive.
