plant is raised up.
On Monday,the activists submitted three demands to the
government ,which included halting approval of the plant’s
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and deep sea coal
port’s Environment and Health Impact Assessment (EHIA)
report.
Protesters also asked the government to stop the project’s
bidding process being conducted by the Electricty
Generating
Authority of Thailand (Egat) ans set up a committee
comprising al l stakeholders to develop Krabi into 100%
renewable energy province.
The agreement was reached Thursday afternoon after
the protesters from Krabi,led by anti-coal activists
from
the save Andaman from Coal Network,ramed up their
rally by moving closer to Government House.
The government has agreed to protester demand to set up
a joint committee to end the stalemate over the
controversial
Krabi coal-fired power plant project.
According to permanent secretary of Energy Ministry,Mr
Kurujit
Nakornthap ,the 59-billion-baht Krabi power plant and
deep
seaport would harness steam energy,which is more efficient
and
emits less carbon dioxide than the old model.
The development cost will exceed the initial of 10 billian baht,
because the method is cleaner ,as locals have requested.
In my viewpoint, the Krabi coal –fired plant project
should be
developed or not depend on how important and the
necessary
of it to solve the critical point of power supply in the
South.
If it is important and there are no source of power supply
such as from solar energy ,wind energy or bio energy to
substitute the natural gas supply,it is important and
necessary to develop.
And if it is to be developed the security and
environmental
standard should set at the level that it will not make
the
pollution to harm the people in the community.
The Environmental and Health Impact Assessment
(EHIA) report should carefully study so that it can
be accepted by every party involved.
The understanding of people in the community is
important because if they understand the important
of the project,the controversial will be least and
the project will be lightly to be more successful.
Hope the controversial can solve so that the critical power
supply in the South can be protect not to get into
serious
problem that more harder to solve in the future.
Sincerely Yours.
