Multi purpose nuclear submarine

Singapore definitely need to find new reliable power source if she is to continue to grow.

Been thinking a lot and thought of having a multi purpose nuclear aircraft carrier to help providing nuclear energy to the island while keeping the reactor mobile and also maintaining an "airbase" status when Paya Lebar is close down.

However, after much though, I think it's more important to have a reliable and safe source of energy than having an airbase.

If Singapore could buy or co-develop a nuclear submarine which is for civilian use only which can help to power part of the island while having a safety distance away from cities would be a better option. The cost surely will be enormously gigantic scale and even more on maintenance. But we have no choice as we need more power to generate our economy and many more.

Having a nuclear submersible powerstation seems like viable option.

It's not affect by typhoon nor earthquake except maybe the underwater powerlines maybe damage during earthquakes.

Nuclear reactors are getting smaller and we quite have a reasonable size power station out of the danger zone of a nuclear holocaust.

Instead of purchasing energy from other countries, which I seriously doubt our neighbours are willing to see Singapore thriving better than them, we could have a more secure power source.
