There are many benefits of operating the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant so I agree
with the revival of it. One benefit is that BNPP will result to cheaper electricity.
Who wouldnt want that? Nuclear power plants are expensive to build but
relatively cheap to run. The price of electricity being generated is the cheapest even if the
capital investment is big.

Our costly electricity cost us dearly in terms of economic opportunity. Is it plausible

that our economy would grow an additional one (1) percent if electricity costs half
its price? I think that is an easy proposition to accept. In our economy, 1 percent of
PHP 15 T represents P150 billion of FOREGONE economic opportunity because of
expensive and unreliable supply of electricity. Imagine what we lost the last 30
years that the BNPP was not used. Let us not make the same mistake now. Let us
not leave the solution to just the private sector. Let us make BNPP productive to
keep electricity prices honest.

2. Define environmental science.

- Environmental science is the field of science that studies the interactions of the physical,
chemical, and biological components of the environment and also the relationships and effects
of these components with the organisms in the environment.

3. What is sustainability?

- the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural

resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.

4. What is an environmentalist?

- An environmentalist helps the general public learn how to make the best decisions
regarding the use of natural resources. Environmentalists also study the best ways to
protect the environment from harmful pollution and other contaminates.

5. What is environmentalism? How does it differ from environmental science?

- Environmentalism refers to a social movement and associated body of thought that expresses concern
for the state of the natural environment and seeks to limit the impact of human activities on the
environment.

Environmental Science
Objective, unbiased pursuit of knowledge about the workings of the environment
and our interactions with it
Environmentalism:
Social movement dedicated to protecting the natural world
