It is interesting to note that a country so developed like Germany has set 2022 as the deadline to close down all its Atomic power plants and we, Ghana, a third world country wants to start building the same.

Well, maybe we want to be developed first before we take the rational decision to give it up. This topic is debatable. But don't we think there are better alternatives to go Nuclear?

PB: You are right. It is a coal-fired power station! I worked there briefly in the 80's.
Do you think the politicians know the difference?

Really? Somebody must be dreaming irrational dreams.
Nuclear power is horrendously expensive - just go to Europe or US and look at how much it costs to build a nuclear generating plant.
Secondly - Ghana cannot even manage a simple petroleum refinery - how dare they think they can manage a thousand-fold more complex and dangerous nuclear plant?

There are risk in every aspect of life. White people and the Asia people are moving forward because they are not afraid to take risk. The black man will complain of everything and will continue to remain where they are till thy kingdom come. If Ghana don't want to go nuclear, then it must wait for God to bring down light from heaven. Ghana have so many confuse people that can talk and nothing to show for it. Now most Ghanaians who can afford generator wants to have one. Do Ghanaians know how harmful it's to use generator in your house as energy support?

You've surely have HEARD about NUCLEAR energy but CERTAINLY have NO clue what it is: Ghana does NOT come close to being able to deal with ANY nuclear glitch and its ramifications. Chernobyl 1986 and Fukushima 2011 nuclear disasters offer any nuclear ignorant individual a primary lesson. Check them out my friend, in order to re-shape your thought.

When you are dying unless you have a risky operation, you dont really have a choice. You can choose to sit on the fence of "safety" and die in a few days or you accept the risks and undergo the operation to save your life. All the major western and eastern nations have nuclear power reactors. U S has about 100 of them, not because they like it but it is a necessary risk. Black man as usual doesnt want to take any risk. The slightest danger and we're shaking and running as far away as we can. No wonder we are alien to things like mountain climbing. Our hydro capabilities are exhausted. Bui is a white elephant. We can choose to sit in darkness and drive away investors or awake to reality and stop daydreaming about depending on renewable resources and explore nuclear power in the safest way.

ANY GHANAIAN THAT OPPOSES NUCLEAR ENERGY IS AN ENEMY OF GHANA.

RAIN PATTERNS HAVE CHANGED DRASTICALLY , BRING ON THE RUSSIAN TO COMPLETE WHAT THEY STARTED

Nuclear energy is no sheabutter trust me. What Ghana has been able to manage to make you think we can handle NUCLEAR power?

Nuke Power is not the option. You allow organizations like IAEA to dictate to you because those organizations are there for 3rd world countries. They will not dare poke their noses into the affairs of Developed Western Countries

The government must be dreaming. This Ghana government should ONLY go for nuclear power generation, when we have learned how to be extremely safety cautious and do away with the culture of poor maintenance and neglect.

Why not a law against corruption? Have we dealt with ordinary waste? How much more nuclear waste? Now I know parliamentarians are jokers. Keep dreaming and dreaming. Not serious.
