We have adequate solar, wind and geothermal power, infact we are exporting some right now and we still have potential for more Geothermal. So why risk nuclear? The fastest way for ugus to wipe us off the map would be that plant. http://www.thinkgeoenerg...rting-power-to-uganda/? i.am.back!!!!

The fastest way for ugus to wipe us off the map would be that plant. http://www.thinkgeoenerg...rting-power-to-uganda/? We have very very very very very expensive power. Very expensive due to our very own jinga, greedy and skewed policies. You can start by finding out why we pay more than citizens of the rest of the region. Again, if I may, in the absence of a plan to industrialise the country,why would we go for nuclear energy? We are still a country dependent on imports and this won't change soon. See, if I want a blade, a hair comb,a pencil,a pair of socks, all are imported. I want to put it to you that there is no industry that uptakes 15mwh in Kenya currently. The last was Bamburi and Panpaper. One uses coal to fire it's kilns, while the other closed shop.Tenderprenuers consume no power at all. Therefore, energy from your nuclear plant would be to primarily power our TVs,decoders ,charge our gadgets and keep our beers cold. There is more than enough solar for that. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Where will this plant be based? Nyanza? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Why should a country blessed with so many natural resources, energy resources such as hydro, geothermal, wind, solar etc be contemplating going nuclear? Does this mean we have exhausted the natural resources I've listed?

Btw why is masukuma only for this nuclear crap? Ideas are rarely crap. Energy changes often result in socio-economic change. For example coal powered the industrial revolution to the extent of piling pressure on Europe for new markets and new political institutions. In the same way, Nuclear energy can give us something like a quantum leap. It all depends on our thinking and strategy. Maybe @masukuma is thinking along such lines... New sources of energy will enforce positive change.

There is more than enough solar for that. lookup load shedding!! with current power setups you need to chose one or the other! I am typing this msg from country with load shedding currently in place. Cheap power but rationed daily! if you ever have power for 24hrs consider yourself to have no power tomorrow! The reason we have power in the way we do is because we make it worthwhile for the independent power producers. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
