Why so exactly? It would have massively reduced emissions to have that nuclear power plant, now instead you have a vague promise they put on 2050, purposely far enough that it does not bind the government to anything.
- cageface 8y agoVietnam doesn't have a good track record on public infrastructure projects. Due to corruption and cronyism they have a hard time even building roads to spec. The prospect of running a nuclear reactor in that environment is horrifying.
- dxxvi 8y agoI'm a Vietnamese and your 2 words "corruption" and "cronyism" are 100% correct for Viet Nam.
- Ntrails 8y agoPeople are terrified of high visibility catastrophic risk (ie nuclear meltdown) in a way that they cannot get concerned about fossil fuel pollution. It may cause millions of deaths, but they'll mostly go unattributed and certainly not sensationally reported
- pjc50 8y ago.. assuming the nuclear plant got built on time and on budget.
- jerven 8y agoExactly, considering the nuclear power plants where a vague promise from 2007 to have a nuclear power plant at all. A promise that has now been revoked. Now let's see if solar can meet it's promises.
- realusername 8y agoI would be surprised if they changed their mind, 3% in 12 years is already not much so that's definitely achievable.
- CitizenTekk 8y agoWell it all really depends on how government in Vietnam take actions to that, as far as I know, Vietnam is also one of the most corrupted Government in SEA. I think that supports your case.
