Great insight, Marie!

I wish all these were really implemented worldwide because they are very implementable.

Here in the Philippines, geothermal power is a big thing. It provides a good percentage of the power needs of the country.

And we discovered our geothermal capability when we junked all efforts for nuclear energy.

I’m proud to say that trashing the nuclear program has been the best thing that ever happened to the Philippines.

Keep more posts coming!

Thank you for your response. Our country is anti nuclear. So much to consider in other countries that perhaps are not as fortunate as others for resources. Also where there is so much poverty when a man is hungry being green aware is the last thing on his mind. Efforts to raise awareness of the leaders of the world and the will to change. A collective action of all people of all race colour and creed.For the betterment of mankind.

True reflections, and I’d like to believe that wind power can be exploited to its fullest in NZ.

But of course things at other places could be different. When people live in abject poverty there’s little chance of going in for renewable energy.

Grace says that these are easily implementable but that’s not necessarily so.

And yes India is bargaining hard for nuclear power. Unlike Grace, I believe nuclear is the way to go for us.

When people live in abject poverty combined with little chance for renewable energy, being green is the last thing on a mans mind. Much to consider with nuclear and as you say other places need to consider the means at hand. Nuclear? in relationship with the poor and abject poverty this will take some thought and I will write an article in response. You make some excellent points.

Marie,

I think all the countries in the world should first tap the solar energy, the wind energy and hydro-electric power before turning to other forms of energy or power because these are not only non-pollutant forms of energy but also because these are permanent sources of energy.
