Moon Jae-in Making Friends By Importing More Gas
During his successful campaign to become South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in promised to dramatically increase South Korea's natural gas consumption.
Within weeks of taking office, he took several concrete steps towards fulfilling that promise. He announced the near-term closure of 10 coal plants, he allowed the operating license to expire as scheduled for South Korea's oldest nuclear plant, he reopened discussion of a long envisioned project to build a natural gas pipeline from Russia through North Korea and he ordered construction to be halted on Shin Kori 5 & 6, two new APR-1400 nuclear reactors.
