Nuclear energy advocates renewed their call for using nuclear facilities for power generation to bring down the high power rates.
“If we are truly concerned about the environment, then nuclear energy is the way to go. It is cheap, green and reliable,” said Rep. Mark Cojuangco, the country’s foremost advocate for nuclear energy.
Alpas Pinas, a non-stock, non-profit organization that leads in advocating the use of nuclear energy as a clean source of energy, together with the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute, recently celebrated Earth Day with “Love the Earth, Go for Nuclear Energy, the Green Energy Event.”
Alpas Pinas is the country’s leading organization that educates and advocates for nuclear energy as the means to reduce the cost of electricity. It said nuclear energy is not just a theory but a reality that the country should explore if it is to address the prevailing requirements of its energy needs.
“We believe that nuclear energy will positively impact the lives of Filipinos because it will mean lower electricity rates that will better allow for more savings,” said Alpas Pinas convenor Gayle Certeza.
