Malaysia’s potential for renewable, not nuclear, energy

(Malaysia) Rethink going nuclear, Hilary Chiew, 18 July 2010 If a temperate country like Germany can be the first country to launch a successful feed-in tariff system based on renewable solar energy, there is no reason why Malaysia can’t do it, says Hilary Chiew…….Worldwide, proponents for a nuclear renaissance have seized on the climate change scourge to push their agenda further. But their carbon-neutral argument has since long been debunked.

However, that hasn’t stopped this misinformation from being propagated here. Their counterparts in Malaysia have argued likewise……..Malaysia has already recognised renewable energy (RE) as a potential source to diversify its energy mix since the Eighth Malaysia Plan.
