  for over 20 years I have enjoyed the freedom of Ghana. I run of from Europe because the rules and regulations strangle your freedom.
  Not that I don't like Ghana anymore, I love it.
  But do you think that with our maintenance track record we should go nuclear ?
  We can't even maintain our electricity network or watersupply equepment. My advice; If Ghana goes nuclear, we should all move !

  Why would we as acivilized country think of going nuclar? are we going to make bombs? this is sicky. if we need power to care for our homes than I think we have to think about a better alternate than nuclar/ For we dnot want no nuclar war, for with nuclar we wont get far.
  who in his or right sence think of nuclar for Ghana? lets go back into history before we even put the idea of nucalar on the table to disscuss it. our peer leader Osagyfo stood on his right Judgement and said we need a Nuclar free Africa. Do you think he just wake up out of the blue and said that?
  People go again int history and see what Nuclar has done to a whole community in Eastern Europe. a whole land almost the size of Ghana has been diverstated, and no one is living on that land so what do you say? Go to Japan fro the 2nd world war, again check Japan in recent history and ask your self some questions. If all these are sucessfuly analysed than you ask your self why do Ghananeeds such a power source.

  Why would you say this, without giving you views? You are the one to go see you day nursery teacher, to pick up some lessons. Who thought you how to start a computer fool, go away from it, just close it.

  In the aboundance of water, the fool get teast. why do we live in the tropics and would go for nuclar as our power source.
  Call Dr. Kwake Ave the NASA scienties to help you develop your solar world. That is what he dose and that is what he mastered in. He is living freely in the United Staes.For with nuclar, we would all one day vanish from our land. think about is desastrous, dont think about how chip it is. think about its precautions, and compaire it to the Ghanaian attitude towards safty.
  take this out of the table, for it will kill us all in a matter of seconds.

  Kofi Thompson,you don't stop amuse me with your ignorance of nuclear power.International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA)has regulation, members and inspectors to inspect and make sure that materials use to manufacture equipments are of standard.If ministry of transport has to approve metals for manufacturing cars,ships,air planes and trains for safety .Kofi,did you mean IAEA is not doing their work well and manufacturers don't obey rules and laws to put their own lifes at risk and oppossible face being sue?Kofi came again and answer these questions and why (1) Should Ghana not built fertilizer factory because a fertilizer in Texas in USA has exploded.
  (2)should Ghana stop its oil producing because there were three oil rig explosion in the gulf of Mexico killing alot of oil workers.
  (3)Should Ghana abandon all its oil refinery because there was explosion at TeXas oil refinery.
  (4)Should Ghana stop the gas plant they are building because there were various gas plant explosion in USA, Canada,Japan etc.Kofi every body knew you are ignorant.if you want to knowthe truth ask Iran about their nuclear programme even with international communities against Iran acquire nuclear plant IAEA constantly allow to come and inspect the plant.Kofi Thompson if you want to know and understantd nuclear call Mohammed Albaridyi of Egypt the cheif nuclear inspector and he will tell every thing about nuclear.

  could you imagine what a blin analysis you are giving? if these iol rigs you are talking about were in the hands of Ghanaians, could how long could you imagine to see those soulutions applied to stop the spill would have taken.
  we are talking about preventive measures not runinr it, even the blind could start a car, but the question is for how many miles could this blind perso drive it? this is what we are talking about this is where we are coming from.
  do you reallty know what it takes to run a nuclar power station? how toxic and dangeruos could these materials be? and my last question is what would Ghana do after all these nuclar waste, how would we despose them?
  look Ghana is acountry that can not even take care of its domestic gabage, therefore how is it going to take care of the disposal of its nuclar waste?
  you dont even have water to drink, than you thinking of going nuclar?
  how many houses in Ghana has underground gas pipe line conected to them? you dont even have power lines through out in accra so why would you be thinking of getting nuclar.
  Do you know the amount of inteligencies used to mointor the nuclar 24 by 7 ?
  how would you cool this plant if the needs arise. look some times people need to ask them selves some questions,and do not just came in fromn no where and speak.
  if we do not have all this things I have mentioned, than count Ghana out to be a nuclar country.
  Ghana dose not even have home delivery addresses. mails can not be delivered to our homes with street address. how old is ghana? do we need to be 400 yrs. old frm independants, before we could use stret address?
  what a shame! stop belittling you self and join wisdom.

  Although, filled with emotions, this article lacks facts and substance. The party protesting against the nuclear plant in India is backed by western christian NGO organisations. They clearly don't have a public welfare agenda in mind. They just want to stall the development of India. We must not let such dispecable people ruin our country. Nuclear energy produces trememndous energy and we need it
