Power production costs remains problem for Vietnam to solveVietNamNet Bridge - Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has suggested an optimal solution to ensure power supply for Vietnam's economic development. Meanwhile, it only takes one year to put a solar power plant into operation. It is also necessary to consider the environment tax when running thermal power plants. With its economic development plans, Vietnam has to increase the electricity supply from coal-fired thermal power plants as the hydropower resources are in decline and Vietnam has canceled a plan to build nuclear power plants. New thermal power plants are facing strong opposition from people because they produce dust, ash, mercury and acid that poison the air and water.
