"Decades-Old Nuclear Relic Set to Finally Open in 2021"

The Bataan nuclear power plant in the Philippines, which has never produced electricity since its completion in 1986, may finally be opened due to rising energy bills and the threat of climate change. The plant's lone reactor can produce up to 620 megawatts of power, but it will need significant work to be brought up to date. While some support the idea, anti-nuclear groups argue that the government should invest in local solar and wind projects instead. The biggest obstacle to reopening the plant is politics, as the country's president can only serve a single six-year term.
