Netanyahu: We Will Reconsider Nuclear Power Plant :: I think we’ll go for the gas and skip the nuclear

"Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said during an interview on CNN to air Thursday night (U.S. time) that in light of the nuclear crisis in Japan, Israel would reconsider its plan to build a nuclear power plant in the southern part of the country.

[The situation in Japan] is a confluence of a natural disaster and man-made disaster,” Netanyahu said in the interview which will air on Thursday’s edition of Piers Morgan Tonight. “The cloud of radioactivity, the uncertainty of what will happen with it, is the cloud that hangs over the people of Japan and I think right now hangs over the world.

He added that since Israel found a significant amount of natural gas offshore, “I think we’ll go for the gas and skip the nuclear."
