Teen solves centuries-old math problem
BATAAN, Philippines, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- The Philippine Senate is facing opposition from Greenpeace on its plans to recommission the Bataan nuclear plant.
The environmental activist group wants Philippine leaders to focus more on other alternative energy sources, such as renewable energy, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported.
The old Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in Moron, Bataan, was commissioned in 1984 but then shut down in 1986. Though it is capable of producing 620 megawatts of power, it has not generated even one watt.
Greenpeace submitted a position paper in opposition of the recommissioning of the country's only nuclear power plant.
The Senate is considering the nuclear option because the country is projected to experience an energy shortfall beginning in 2012.
