One point of view about Asian energy choices

ByRod Adams

Geoffrey Gunn has written a summary article about energy options in the ASEAN countries titled Asian tigers eye nuclear future that provides an interesting perspective.

In other words, it is worth a few minutes of your time to read the article.
