Nuclear power debate heats up in South-east Asia
This clean but controversial energy source could be part of the region’s future
COULD nuclear energy power South-east Asia? This question has been reignited in the wake of energy security fears, climate change and scientific progress.

And yet Germany, once a nuclear powerhouse, has phased out the energy source completely in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
