   I think in the near future we do not want to give our Rakyat Indonesia another ailing and aging Nuclear Power Plant Industry.

   who sez anything about industry?
   Baby steps, pak.

   First we buy the simplest solution available(im inclined toward SSTAR or IRIS or Toshiba 4S). We outsource the maintenance while training local capabilities. We slowly introduce the western-style industrial safety culture. We carefully planned slow growth on adopting the technology, so we dont have to recruit too many. That way we dont have to fire much when the whole thing collapsed. Finally we should design exit strategy, even before everything started.

   The point is not about profit, or national pride. It is about extending people’s capabilities including capabilities of those you called technocrats, and extending choices of energy. Both are strategic advantages for the nation’s future.

   We should indeed learn from IPTN’s failures. We dont need a great leap forward a la iptn. Throwing lots of engineer to instantly innovate something is like asking 9 men to make a baby in a month.

   Just baby steps.

   If the majority of average Indonesian have the discipline, hard-working, persistance, open minded & global perspectives then your country will not fall into perpetual economy crisis trap like what is continuously happening since 1997. Isn’t it amazing, one of a kind situation that a big nation like Indonesia can not take-off after 12 years of Asian Financial crises and now fall into a deeper world financial crisis ? 2 financial crises and yet Indonesia have never restore like in 1992 – 1996.

   Your VP statement is an honest statement that is a truly reflection of the majority’s mentality, a second grade mentality
