    "content": "I know I have a few minutes to go. In summary, I am just wondering why as a developing country, we are getting into business that advanced or developed countries are getting out. As we speak, countries like Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Philippines, South Korea, Sweden and Switzerland are already decommissioning their plants. Therefore, even as we try to imagine that this will be a major source of power, we need to borrow a leaf from the countries that have had this power and if possible find out the reasons why they are decommissioning. There is no point of us going to an area that others have already been and are already discouraged. We are lucky in this county, just like the Chairman has said, because we have rivers that do not dry which give us very clean hydroelectric energy. We are lucky we have wind power. For the current energy demand, we should have given it a thought to see whether it is really important that we go the route of nuclear power. Otherwise, I support this Bill. I hope that all Members will support it so that nuclear power is properly regulated in this country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
