        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has expressed openness to adopting nuclear energy in Indonesia, describing it as the cheapest and cleanest option, while stressing that the final decision will depend on expert assessments regarding safety concerns. He also highlighted Indonesia's vast potential for renewable energy sources, particularly large-scale solar power and biofuels, which could be developed across numerous villages, especially outside Java where ample land is available. This stance underscores Prabowo's vision for a diversified and sustainable energy strategy to meet the nation's long-term power needs.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has opened the possibility of using\nnuclear energy as a power generation source in Indonesia, although he\nemphasised that the final decision will still depend on studies by\nexperts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will depend on the experts. If we can use it, why not? Nuclear\npower is actually the cheapest. It\u2019s also the cleanest. The only issue\nis how we can handle the safety. That\u2019s the problem,\u201d he said during a\ndiscussion with several figures broadcast on the Prabowo Subianto\nYouTube channel, quoted on Sunday (22\/3).<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Prabowo assessed that Indonesia has great\npotential in renewable energy, particularly solar power and biofuels. He\nstated that developing solar energy on a large scale could become a\nlong-term solution.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, developing solar energy requires vast land, but\nthis is still considered feasible given the availability of land in\nvarious regions.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo added that Indonesia has tens of thousands of villages that\ncan serve as a base for developing renewable energy, especially outside\nJava, which still has considerable land availability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s a village outside Java, finding 1 hectare is no problem,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on Java, he mentioned that there is still land that has\nnot been optimally utilised, such as land with business use rights (HGU)\nstatus or forestry areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf on Java we\u2019ve calculated, we have a lot of land. There are HGU\nlands that are not worked on. There are Perhutani lands that are not\nworked on,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
