SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said on Sunday the government will continue to phase out nuclear-generated electricity, following a public opinion survey that dealt a blow to his plans to do so.
"We will completely stop all plans for the construction of new nuclear reactors like the government previously stated," Moon said in a statement distributed to reporters by his office.
"The government will also step up usage of natural gas and renewables in order to maintain its stance of phasing out nuclear-generated power.".....etc.....South Korea liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand is the world's second-largest consumer of the fuel.
