anyone can construct a coal power plant ..what's important is how much bribe was taken for the project.

This project was delayed due to the influence of Catholic Church. MR had the backbone to ignore them.

Kuma - What do you prefer the nations health & wealth or cheap electricity? Hydro, wind, solar, tidal wave are much cheaper than imported coal

This was dragging for long time for various pressures. But MR took the right decision and make it success. Well done and good work. Upper Kotmale too is a such project delayed due to Thondaman's pressure by previous government and it too will be in action very soon.

Be it either a "coal burning" or "coconut shell burning" process, what people need is the cheapest source of energy supply.

Most countries in the world are giving up coal burning power plants as it does irreparable damage the environment and are turning to other methods such as hydro, natural gas and nuclear.
This is outdated technology. Coal burning power stations are major emitters of greenhouse gases, which according to the consensus of scientific organisations are a major contributor to the global warming observed over the last 100 years.The combustion of coal contributes the most to acid rain and air pollution31 27
