Dear Tun,
Slowly but surely, alternative energy technologies are starting to become mainstream.
Even on Kapas Island we are using Solar Energy for our electricity-lah nowadays but unfortunately its rate at rm1.60 per unit is really too bloody expensive for us poor islanders to shoulder !. Can you help us here ? ,,,,,hahaha.
Wind power is also growing and about 1% of the World's energy is already generated by the wind too.
Apparently, it is expected to rise to 10% by 2020. Your Vision 2020 does not cater for this unfortunately !!! yaaaaaa.
Another good sign is the use of electric car and more and more models are becoming available and perhaps you can advise Proton to seriously look into this too ?.
The idea is to end dependency on import oil or trying to get it from nuclear ways plus to achieve zero-carbon sources.
In Malaysia there is plenty of potential for solar power, which will be environmental friendly plus benefiting too.
With our abundant sunshine, solar power should grow in importance. If NOT why NOT ?.
Perhaps with a special plant that works by employing heat from the sun to make steam and thus drive a generator, rather than using expensive solar cells to produce electricity directly ?.
In fact, solar cells are not going away, they are being deployed faster than wind turbines and apparently the amount of electricity they generate is growing by the day.
Biofuels, the other green alternatives to petrol and diesel, are also made ultimately from sunlight, via the plant-building process of photosynthesis !.
No doubt, we will see some interesting changes in the World of Energy-lah.
