BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Fossil fuel supply chains are unstable, and renewable energy alone can’t meet all its energy needs.
Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Singapore is exploring the use of nuclear energy to meet its energy needs, and has taken several steps to build its knowledge and expertise in this area.
But why does the small city-state even need to consider such a controversial energy resource, especially given historical nuclear incidents?
And why is the business-as-usual option to continue with fossil fuel use no longer as viable as before? Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty discuss the global nuclear renaissance, and Singapore’s role in it, in this episode.
