Reference: Impressions of a Swiss nuclear power plant, Bangkok Post, January 17, 2009

While nuclear power may well have a place in Thailand's energy portfolio, the claim by the Ministry of Energy that the safety of nuclear power generation is assured because the Swiss have them and that if it is good enough for the educated and wealthy Swiss it is certainly good enough for Thais (Impressions of a Swiss nuclear power plant, Bangkok Post, January 17, 2009) is an ad hominem argument and an insult to the Thai people who are certainly intelligent and educated enough to evaluate the safety and utility of nuclear energy by themselves in the context of their own unique energy supply, demand, policy, and long term goals.
