Back in 2008 Kuwait announced they were going to build a nuclear power plant to satisfy our electricity consumption. Two years later they announced they were actually building not one but four nuclear plants and they would be up and running by 2022. Well, it seems the plans to go nuclear have now been scrapped because of the Fukushima disaster [Link]

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.

WHY? I would totally trust Haza3 with his finger on the button.
Oh damn!
I was really really hopeful of a Nuclear power plant in Kuwait, maybe somewhere around Jahra area. Would’ve been awesome because I’m sure the parliament would’ve fast-tracked passing a bill for it and construction would have completed in 18 months.
LOL
you almost got me. good one mate!
what? no more three-eyed fish?!
three-eyed hammour
Good.. I am sure there will be a cheaper way to jam the signal to Linda’s FM show
Why nuclear ? Why not Solar power in the desert .
God knows our sun burns like hell , don’t you think it’s time to build a Several Solar farms ?
I think it’s still being considered but solar energy still doesn’t produce a lot of energy.
I didn’t realize Kuwait had to worry about tsunamis… or hurricanes, or floods, or earthquakes, or crab people
They taste like crab but talk like people. Never take these people lightly. Next thing you know; some clueless consumerist suggesting that they are nothing but a myth.
solar panels aren’t efficient enough now. wind farms are the way to go. or updraft towers perhaps.
Wind farms in Kuwait ? they won’t produce Electricity until winter lol
lol
fine, what about updraft towers?
It’s good , but requires a large collecting area , something this tiny country finds lacking :P
Solar is a lot less efficient in dusty climates, cleaning the panels would probably use more energy than it produces, I think the technology isn’t quite there yet.
Actually, it was supposed a joint effort with several gulf nations. One plant to support 4 countries. I think it would have been built somewhere in Saudi. But Kuwait 1st refused it a couple of months ago because, as you said, Japan. But other neighboring countries still seem interested.
They can’t ever run their sewer system without screwing it up, remember the smell around Mishrif. How for the love of crist do they think they could run a nuclear power plant?
Like they do with everything else: Expats!
They will hire Babu instead of Homer to push the button LMAO.
