Energy Shortage has become a global phenomenon and its effects are being felt all over the world. The long term effects in Pakistan can be described as low productivity, high unemployment resulting in the social restlessness and political instability. :waiting

Energy Crisis and Energy Mafia.
 

[B]Energy Crisis in Pakistan[/B]

No Nation can make progress without energy. Pakistan is facing energy crisis although Pakistan has been gifted with the following most economical methods of energy production. Only vision and direction is very much required which our policy makers are lacking. Unfortunately the so called economists and sick planners have made the Nation hostage. They have borrowed certain economic terminology and try to impress the people’s representatives having no knowledge of economy. These terms are commonly used by these ill minded so called economists. These idiots policy makers are wasting our resources and become a big liability. Let us throw them out and replace them with honest and intelligent young economists from Universities. Please get rid of Neem Hakeems to save the Economy which have been ruined by these sick minds.

Trickle down economy
Short Term Solution
Micro Economy
Strategic planning
Fast Track Economy
Etc

the following resources are available with Pakistan to produce the economical energy

1. Thar Coal
2. Water ---Hydle Energy by building series of large and small dams
3. Wind
4. Waves
5. Solar
6. Animal waste
7. Nuclear

The production of energy through oil is a serious crime as this is the most costly method of energy. It is like installation of Golden doors at home instead of Wood or steel.

I request you all please try to make the policy makers to have mercy on Pakistan and stop their foolish planning’s to destroy Pakistan. Please stop production of energy through oil and implement power generation projects with thar coal and water on war footings.

Pakistanis in day light. Please identify your enemies ;

MAFIAS

1. Cement
2. Sugar
3. Wheat
4. Oil
5. Liquid Gas
6. Dams
7. Bank Loans
8. Corruption

The latest study shows that Thar coal power plant can produce 50,000 megawatts of electricity that can last 300 years. What we are waiting for. Please awake up and write to opinion makers to fight against these Mafias otherwise it will be too late. Currently the arguments against use of coal with respect to viability and environmental hazards are being fabricated by these Mafias. Already a powerful Banker SHAUKAT TAREEN HAS LOST A WAR VERY RECENTLY AND HE HAD TO RUN AWAY.

Thar Coal Reserves
 

According to Dr Samar Mubarak Pakistan has the potential to generate 50,000 MW electricity from Thar coal field for 800 years. Power generated from coal gasification would be much cheaper, which will be sold to Sindh government at the rate of PKR 3.90 per unit. He said our focus is to produce turbine and generators in the country as 75% cost of a power plant is incurred on import of these equipments.

He said South Africa and China are producing ample diesel from coal and added that Pakistan could also produce more than enough diesel from Thar coal. He said Pakistan has also sound potential to generate energy from waste material and once these indigenous resources are brought into the mainstream production, there would be no need to resort to expensive power generation.

He said the country is blessed with USD 1.2 trillion worth of copper and gold reserves, mostly in Balochistan and our country could become financially stable by exploiting these reserves. Highlighting other projects, he said textile and garments cities have been set up in many cities of the country to facilitate businessmen while an Expo Centre at the cost of PKR 2.2 billion is being set up in Lahore for promotion of exports.

Mr Zahid Maqbool President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce earlier said manufacturing and industrial units were badly suffering due to shortage of energy and natural energy resources should be utilized to provide cheap energy to industry. He said Thar coal has huge coal reserves.
