UAE to focus on alternative and renewable sources of energy

Despite being rated as the world's tenth largest oil producer, the UAE would focus on exploiting alternative and renewable energy sources, including the nuclear energy, said Dr Saleh Al Hashimi, Assistant Professor of Petroleum Institute. "We need reliable sources of alternative and cheap energy to run our expanding economy," said Dr Hashimi.

"We have to exploit all sources of energy including nuclear for power generation, health and agriculture purposes," said the professor at a press conference organised to announce a two-day international conference on energy which will discuss efficient ways to make use of sun shine, wind, solid waste and other natural resources.

- The Arabs are going nuclear. Perhaps we should, too.
