I have heard ur coments guys and pity u, have u not heard of storing energy in molten salt, have u not heard that u have abundance of gas too, have u not heard that new techniques of extracting oil from shale produce less pollution than mining uranium…. Iam sad, u promised to fill me up with water from the Red Sea, what are u waiting for? I can give u electricity from hydro power, can desalinate water for u and stop the environmental and touristic degradation in the Dead Sea vicinity… Please don’t sell me for nuclear, Iam cleaner, safer, cheaper and more sustainable,
Kindly yours

The pros outweigh the cons. The anti-nuclear lobby cannot come up w/any alternative but poorly produced arguments. For example, everybody knows that solar (CPV) only provides eight hours of electricity (micro-only) whereas CSP costs more than oil and gas to run per kWh! Wind only supplies eight hours (at best) and it is largely seasonal.

What’s the solution? Oil shale? That’s hypocritical considering it is more of a CO2 hazard than fuel oil.

Please check out “Pros and cons of nuclear power” (link below) and weigh the pros and cons for yourself… this really should be a no-brainer:

yes, Jordan do deserve a nuclear energy plant,and all others related facilities and products.
we can not as Jordanians trust any more our friends. neither Arabs, neither Jewish.
we have to built our own future.
Jordan is OK with agronomy,and now we must go on with industry which can not be don without strong energy, so let us go on
long live his Majesty king of Jordan.
