Government making a mistake on power plant

The construction of the coal power plant will take six years. When every other country is going “green” and Thailand with its abundance of sun fires up a coal-powered plant in six or seven years from now, this will not be communicable at all.
 I have the feeling, that the construction of the power plant alone will splash enough money into the pockets of some influential folks. The plant may end up as an abandoned construction, but it then will have fulfilled its purpose.

Lord. Simply allow these people to express their opinions and it’s a non-issue.  Arresting them makes them martyrs.

I wouldn’t say that, as the junta allowed Luang Pu Issara and 200 supporters demonstrated at the US Embassy against ambassador Davies. They do allow protest selectively.

Given Prem's comments, this will make the government even more hated.  It is time to allow debate, or irk the populace even further.  It is the end of the milk run for the junta.

Another international blackeye for Thailand in the eyes of the international human rights watchers; the current Thai government just keeps getting it wrong

I have read that in China, seven solar panels are installed every second. Why on earth is a similar policy not been carried out here? Solar energy has been proved to be much cheaper than that from coal-fired power stations, not to mention that it is infinitely cleaner, resulting in less medical problems.
