Thnik about it, the world will be facing oil shortage soon, likely the world will be moving to find other sources of energy. It would be unavoidable that Singapore will need to build one Nucluar Power Plant in future ( Can't escape it ) . So like it or not it would be a solution for high electricity price and also to reduce the demand of oil. More and more country will also move towards nucular power plants in future. Well.. looks like no choice of a choice.

Along with death and taxes, I think swirl marks is next. My 1 month old Civic already got some swirl marks, despite the extreme care I put in. Once I come to the realisation, I'm much happier now. I'll just "encase" my car in layers upon layers of wax, to camouflage the swirl marks. If anybody has a way to avoid swirl marks, please share with me. But for now, I try not to let it bother me too much
