RTHK – 20th March 2011
The Under-Secretary for the Environment, Kitty Poon, says the government will take a fresh look at plans for Hong Kong’s future fuel-mix in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear crisis. Speaking at RTHK’s City Forum, Dr Poon said the territory’s energy supply must be safe, stable, economical, and environmentally-friendly. Last year, the government said it wanted nuclear power to account for 50 percent of Hong Kong’s fuel-mix by 2020 – compared to 23 percent now.
