Department of Energy (DoE) Secretary Alfonso Cusi underscored the need to tap all available energy resources to assure the country’s energy security amidst ever growing demand during the DoE-hosted TED Talk of policy expert Michael Shellenberger on “Why We Need Nuclear Energy”.

“We are technology neutral, because we want to explore all possible ways to bring affordable, secure and reliable power to Filipinos throughout the entire archipelago. I believe this is time for us to take a leap and include nuclear power into our energy mix. We wouldn’t want to wait until we are all crying for power before we actually do something,” Sec. Cusi emphasized in his opening remarks.
