Nuclear energy has key advantages over other alternative energy sources as it is reliable, clean, and cheap to operate without diminishing food supply. Nuclear power works by splitting uranium isotopes to release energy in the form of mass according to Einstein's equation E=mc2. Investing in nuclear power in the Philippines could help address upcoming power shortages and lower electricity costs significantly from the current 5 PHP/kWh to 2 PHP/kWh by refurbishing existing nuclear plants. Nuclear power also promotes scientific development and is resistant to corruption due to infrequent refueling needs.
