That's possible.
But we are also studying the possibility of nuclear power, especially when you look at some of the new technologies with SMRs, which are safer.
We are looking at whether it might be possible in our context.
We are very small, 750 square kilometers.
or less than 300 square miles.
That's tiny.
So we have to take it, we have to look at it, consider the safety very closely before we decide.
And look at the technology and how it's evolved.
No, it really depends also on how the technology evolves.
And as of now, we've been looking at different technologies.
You don't really see very many operational SMRs, particularly the SMRs which are grid scale.
We're not talking about the tiny ones like 50 megawatt.
Those don't serve our needs.
We're talking about grid-scale, commercial-scale SMRs, and you don't see a lot of them around as of now.
And so we are studying, looking at, you know, we are working with partners, including America and others, Europe, looking at the technology, understanding it better, understanding the implications.
And then if we think it's possible, we will have to also convince the public that this is indeed a technology that is safe and deployable in Singapore.
But we are not there yet.
We are still at the very early stages of building up capabilities.
I suppose me being from a different generation is part of it.
But in terms of ethos, mindset, values, I represent the party.
