The entangled environment and hunger for power!
Electricity was gone for six hours at home yesterday reasoned for the load-shedding. Mind you, home is located in the largest urban center of Pakistan, close to the city center.
Pakistan is short on power power, and needs it quick. However past attempts – and even recent attempts if you mind – to give a rapid solution to the power-hunger of the country have been futile. There are always some figures and years available, predicting upon when things would get fixed, but the future has to tell that.
However, as a budding engineer, I believe we MUST invest in alternative power technologies. Thar’s coal is currently being seen as the next power gold-mine, but really? Coal-power is considered to be one of the environmentally dirty sources, along with the others which we have been using.
But the serious note of caution is: the alternative power technologies may not be all that clean either.
Seriously, this is entangled, we are playing with nature’s equation and constantly hitting the wall. Solution anyone?
heard of geothermal?
Yes, but geothermal is not possible in Pakistan. We ain’t got all that many geysers!
@ Rakesh:
Alternative Power solutions might help here….! How other countries like china, who has 8 times more population survive and we don’t?
@Om:
No offense buddy but you either didn’t get anything out of my post or you just hit the restart button after reading it. :-)
That’s precisely what the problem is, we have alternative sources of energies but not all of them maybe as good as they are being touted as, Follow the links above to have some examples.
