The Art of Burning Cash

I’m surprised that during the last presidential campaign no candidate talked about alternative source of energy and drinking water for the Maldivian people. Is that because public would not be interested in the idea? Or are there more pressing issues?

While the whole world is struggling towards implementing alternative source of power generation we are still using the most expensive method – burning fossil fuel – which eats up a huge chunk of people’s income.

I do agree that to start such a project, it requires a huge capital and a lot of expertise. However, I think, it would be rewarding for the new government to look into the area. I’m sure finding finance for such projects would be very easy considering environmentally consciousness of people in the industrialized world. Outsourcing the project to a R & D company is the other and easier alternative.

Whatever method used, it is time we do something about it!
