The Solutions of Energy Shortage in Pakistan
Energy Shortage like a shot is a world(prenominal) crisis for many countries in the world including Pakistan. Pakistan, one of the high rapid tuition developing countries instanter is in the worst dynamism crisis in its bill (Kazmi, 2013). The high speed increasing of its economy and population absolutely guide a large qualification supply, but the hassle is that the storage of the aught of the surface area without delay jakes fleshyly supply the whole countrys energy usage. As AOL News said Car owns conceal for hours to get petrol and fuck up, cities and villages are lack of electricity for many hours per day, homes can hardly cook without gunman.The built in bed is becoming more and more unspoiled in the whole country. Actually, Pakistans energy shortage crisis can be tracked back to the 1990s ( Kugelman, 2013) and in the 1970s, the energy crisis was averted once because of the Mangla and Tarbela dams. However, the concentrated stinting growth needfully a lar ge mount of energy no matter how indigenous energy resources do Pakistan have, it is hard to cope with the soared consumption of energy. For figuring out the good declarations of energy crisis in Pakistan, wed better to know the effects and causes of the crisis.It is very manifestly to see that the equal of the energy crisis in Pakistan is terrible for almost everywhere during the country economic, educational, organisational and etc. As Chung (2013) mentioned, because the lack of electricity, numerous business and factories have to constrain 20 to 25% of their productivity, and the consequence of this can be really unskilled such as citizens are losing jobs, children are losing their education opportunities and factories are losing their distant markets and clients, crimson worse, it may lead economic s low geardown or economic contr body process on Pakistan.On the otherwise hand, Pakistan relies on the compressed natural mishandle (CNG) most and this is an important ca use that leads the energy shortage crisis directly on Pakistan. Because the population is increasing so fast, no matter how much gas the administration has purchased in, its still hard to supply CNG for the whole country, likewise the nix impact of this is that theres a inflation on the price of CNG. Besides, according to Leung (2013), the disposal plays an important role in this crisis.The measly managements of the government makes a lot of enigmas in Pakistan such as the government realized the problem but it didnt take any action to work the problem, the worse is, the government even made the problems worse. Government unendingly spent money on wrong ways but not to spend the most of money on solving the energy crisis at last, it seems that government can only make a ration of energy and owe much more money, but this obviously cannot straighten out the problem and it willing keep increasing burden on the citizens.Hence, for solving the serious energy shortage problem, what could be the possible root words and what solutions can truly solve the problem permanently or temporarily? One thing now can be sure is that for solving the energy crisis, Pakistan will contend political will, additional gunstocking, and new power-generation sources etc. (Kugelman, 2013). One short-term solution as Kugelman (2013) pointed out that Pakistan could request a new loan from transnational Monetary Fund (IMF). However, except how much will this solution work, it seems that Pakistan now is not willing to get encourage from IMF at least aft(prenominal) the springs elections.In other words, because of the possible political influence from IMF, its hard for Pakistan to get new fund from IMF as for now. It means even get loan from IMF is good solution in the additional fund way, its not a happy solution for the governments political will. However, actually for the Pakistans power, even the government doesnt supplicate IMF for fund help, its still necessary and bet ter to get economic help as soon as possible because even the government itself cannot pay all power bills.New fund can as well as help Pakistan to import more energy for supplying the demand for a while. and the new fund, shifting the energy resource to another one is too a good solution for Pakistan. For this, ember energy seems like the better choice to instead of CNG for Pakistan. Considering Pakistans economy situation, like Ebrahim (2012) mentioned, many experts cypher sear is the alternative for Pakistan because Pakistan cannot afford to be romantic.Hydropower depends on water so its seasonally, oil is too expensive, only importing abundant coal is viable because coal is much more cheaper than oil and its non-seasonally. However, although coal energy is a semipermanent solution for Pakistan to solve the energy problem, it is also a long-term damage for the global environment (Chung, 2013). In this way, Pakistan needs to consider how to rest the solution of the current problem and the cause of the effectiveness crisis in the future. Hopefully coal energy wont be a dilemma for Pakistan in the future.Meanwhile, besides coal energy, another long-term solution for Pakistan now is to develop more sugar plants to supply electricity. jibe to Kazmi (2013), Pakistan has the potential to get electricity from sugar plants across the country peculiarly in rural areas. Sugar mills only use low bagasse to heat boilers moreover, sugar can also produce ethanol for move gasoline. This means, if Pakistan starts to use large sugar to be an energy row-material, then it will be helpful for Pakistan to contain oil imports and CNG (Kazmi, 2013).The advantages of sugar are obviously it can provide Pakistan another new chance to change the situation in a good way, and maybe the only problem for this solution for Pakistan is how to get more places for planting sugar. In general, like Kugelman (2013) mentioned, Pakistans energy problems are deep and complex, and sometim es the crisis is not only about Pakistan itself, other countries could be involved in the problems thus, for getting better understand of the problem and better solutions for the problem, we still need to find more information. However, as for now about Pakistan, the energy shortage crisis is becoming worse and worse.The impacts of the crisis are negative people in Pakistan now have a very hard and challenging life, economy may suspend or even reverse, government can hardly control the situation etc. So far, referable to Pakistans complex situation, sugar seems like the best solution for Pakistan to solve the problem, its cheap and easy to get, it can provide both gas and electricity energy for the whole country, and it can help government to balance the imports and the fund during the crisis. Hopefully, Pakistan could solve the energy shortage crisis and change its hard situation peacefully and quickly.
