PH could lose investors to Bangladesh sans nuke plant

THE Philippine government was urged on Friday to set a clear direction in its nuclear energy policy and expedite plans to switch on the country's first nuclear power plant in the near term.

At the Pandesal Forum in Quezon City, nuclear energy advocate Alpas Pilipinas lead convenor Gayle Certeza said many businesses, especially in the manufacturing sector, could no longer bear the high cost of electricity in the country without alternative sources of power, such as nuclear, which is a reliable and clean source of energy.
