Indonesia looks forward; more nuclear power?

The Indonesian National Nuclear Energy Agency has an expert stating that Indonesia could have a lot more nuclear power plants:

"The country's National Nuclear Energy Agency said the country's existing nuclear power plants have a capacity of 90 megawatts but the country has the resources to build more than 30 plants, the Antara news agency reported Monday."

"Those who reject or oppose nuclear energy plants are people who do not understand nuclear energy, he said." [Seconded.]

Just don't put them too close to a fault line or active volcano, and they should be inshore far enough to avoid potential tsunamis. Other than that... well, I hope they choose their sites prudently.
