<\/p>\n
This month thousands of people in Indonesia have been showing their opposition to nuclear power with a massive protest yesterday<\/a> in the Kudus regency against government plans to build Indonesia’s first new nuclear power plant in the nearby Jepara regency.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Greenpeace joined thousands of Japara’s residents, community leaders, artists and celebrities in in a protest against the same proposal<\/a>.<\/p>\n The plans seem unfathomably crazy especially since Indonesia has plenty of opportunities for renewable energy<\/a>. They will be using old and questionable technology to build the reactors that will require 4,000 litres of water per minute on the edge of a dormant volcano! <\/p>\n Let’s hope President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono realises what a stupid plan this is and bins it in favour of a clean energy strategy<\/a> that so many people are clearly calling out for.<\/p>\n
