• The coal sector’s trail of destruction runs from upstream to downstream.
• The phenomenon of conversion to electricity generates new branches of problems that need to be addressed.
• Indonesian political bureaucracy is more concerned with power issues than environmental issues.

Nuclear In Indonesia

The use of nuclear has indeed been a long debate and discussion, especially in Indonesia. Its use into energy can change the national energy landscape and even topography. Nuclear in energy can be a suppressing factor for the existence of coal which massively damages the environment from all its processes.

Starting from mining to transportation and even at the level of change to energy. The use of nuclear can suppress the existence of this environmentally destructive practice. Stopping the use of coal can make it stop its extraction, which is mining that causes the national topography to turn into sharp depressions.

Have you ever thought about how the electricity in your home is the result of dredging that causes endless damage? Mining that destroys the territory of our fellow countrymen hundreds of kilometers away from our homes.

Then the burning causes pollution that affects the health of all of us. In depth this pattern must be seen to be able to visualize it independently. Regarding how the energy in the house is the result of the full length of pollution damage that exists outside the walls of Sobat EBT Heroes.

This type of damage flow must be seen as an integral part of how our national energy system works. In a “Sexy Killer” documentary, it highlights the coastal areas that are then controlled by power plant owners and hinder fishermen. “Ini gambaran konflik yang terjadi jika kita salah memilih energi (This is an illustration of the conflict that occurs if we choose the wrong energy)” in the narrative when looking at the social conflicts that occur.

Are Sobat EBT Still Like That?

Various phenomena have followed the conversion of fuel vehicles to electricity. There has been a good increase in public interest in conversion. On a broad scale, this changeover is always associated with lower costs. So that many then make economic calculations of the electricity needs of their vehicles.

However, one issue that has been overlooked in looking at this phenomenon is the national electricity supply. There seems to be a gap in the overall sustainable transition effort. The pattern of conversion goals is indeed one example of the release from fossil “oil to electricity”.

It should be noted that determining sustainability does not only focus on economic calculations. National electricity that still relies on fossil fuels will only have an impact on the calculation of electricity use limited to the economic aspect. Meanwhile, the calculation of reducing greenhouse gas emissions will be lost in the discussion.

In fact, in real economic terms, the price of national electricity that relies on coal looks economical because it results from subsidies. In the sense that, the absence of subsidies in this sector is not only limited to electricity prices that are no longer economical. But domino effects such as cost overruns to repair mine site ecosystems.

Then the environmental burden of pollution and the social health sector will incur invaluable costs and long-term losses. Clearly, increasing electricity use with our same energy system will only shift the burden of pollution production to another sector “coal”. Conversion efforts will only be a change that focuses on increasing per capita energy consumption.

Coal is still the national energy choice, what’s the impact on the country?

With massive coal mining, our country will be the biggest contributor to depressions. The effect is that we will have more and more lakes everywhere. Seen in most of the former mines which then only become lakes due to high environmental remediation costs. Indonesia is the antithesis of the world where many countries are competing to build skyscrapers. And the other hand we are becoming different with national dredging.

Which can be interpreted that our civilization is regressing. This perspective does not look like a prediction or a forecast, but a general fact. Broadly speaking, the pattern of countries in the world, especially developed countries, has set sustainable and environmentally friendly development standards in every policy.

Through this perspective, it is not only limited to the state level, but also to multinational companies and the funding sector. A clear example of how this perspective is able to influence the work pattern of a country is the early retirement of the Cirebon-1 PLTU. The environmental perspective is starting to become one of the main factors in changing the national energy landscape which then affects other related sectors.

National Critical Issues

The phenomenon of the Pilkada Bill is one of the interesting things. It related to how our country can actually solve complex problems such as the RE Bill. However, it is never been done due to lack of interest from the government. If we look at the existing problems, the RE Bill has stagnated in the same position from 2023.

Meanwhile, the regional election bill can even be resolved with one meeting. The current political mindset is to maintain the sustainability of power rather than environmental sustainability. What can be the basis of the mindset is why not give RE plant licenses to public organizations rather than mining concessions?

In fact, the social responsibility of the clean sector will directly improve the image of the organization and benefit the country. This can help the national mix effort quickly before 2060. On the nuclear aspect, perhaps granting licenses to CSOs will look difficult to implement. It is because there are still development burdens, security, and other risks.

Although nuclear is currently on a very massive development through Small Modular Reactors (SMR). Which can reduce construction costs and can be adapted to the existing network. This advantage is able to make nuclear implemented in various schemes as needed.

Apart from weather resistance which is able to compensate for other renewable energy on shortcomings related to weather constraints. Nuclear directly also has reliability in high energy resilience and stability. This type of energy is capable of supplying heavy industry and can be a means of maintaining national energy security.
