Committee formed to discuss power plants with Southerners
By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has set up a committee to promote public understanding about the planned construction of several power plants in the South.

 

The move is seen as an attempt to ease locals’ opposition against a plan.

 

The committee was established under an NCPO order published in the Royal Gazette on Wednesday. 

 

The NPCO said it also wanted to listen to the voices of Southerners regarding the issue. 

 

Either Army chief General Chalermchai Sittisart or NCPO secretary general General Noppadon Intapanya will chair the committee, which comprises representatives from various agencies including Region Army Area 4 chief Lt-General Piyawat Nakwanich.

 

Piyawat said the first public forum would be held in the South on Monday.

Remember that martial law is still in effect in the South.

Have a nice day.

We have sun in abundance, and the unique opportunity to use this power: Thermo-solar installations on factories or supermarket roofs, photo-voltaic and sun powered water heaters on private homes. We have to think about the future and our CO2 and fine particles emissions. I strongly urge the Thai government not to put the profits first, made by a coal fired plant, but to think ahead towards clean energy sources, a healthy tourism and happy people. When the coal fired plant is ready to go after six years of building time, the project will be politically unfeasible, or Thailand is going to lose its face in front of the world community by firing these monsters up. I strongly recommend to think outside the box, and make Thailand a forerunner in SE-Asia using clean energy.
