Govt wants to develop nuclear energy sources

Technology Minister Gusti Muhammad said on Tuesday that Indonesia needed to develop nuclear technology because fossil-based energy sources were depleting.

“If we are facing a fossil-based energy crisis, then we should try to develop nuclear technology.”

Gusti said that this plan needed to be followed up as soon as possible because developing nuclear-based technology would require a lot of investment and time.

“If we start developing now, then we can reap the results in 10 years,” he said.

Given that the previous tenants in Jakartass Towers Redux laid some water outlet pipes which flowed inwards, one can expect that one result of a leak in an Indonesian power plant is that it would be botch repaired with plastic bags, masking tape and broom sticks, as happened at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in December last year.
