Phantom or not, the Dabaa nuclear power plant is probably not our best idea. Taking to the pages of Al Masry Al Youm, Amr El Zant says that the plant will hardly give us bang for our buck, particularly when compared to the cost and output of renewable energy projects. El Zant then proceeds through an odd digression about how, hey, if we’re going to embrace nuclear power, we should produce the reactors locally before concluding that a lackadaisical attitude toward safety and precision could lead us down the road of meltdown.
