If Singapore has the will, there are safe ways to get a nuclear power plant operating in Singapore. I wouldn't trust a commercial entity to do it, and I would rather that it is built as a state-owned, state-run government facility.

Singapore paying other nations to produce electricity that is clean is just like automotive clean energy credits all over again. There's nothing to it but penalty and Singapore should be better off building the nuclear power plant or investing in more clean energy solutions.

Anyways, we are in a geographically stable area far from earthquake zones. If we dig deep enough, we might be able to get geothermal working. But it might not be economical.
