The head of a OSK Research Sdn Bhd warned that the nation faces a possible power crunch in 2017 if gas subsidies are not removed (MI).The Malaysian government has approved the construction of a nuclear power plant which is expected to start operation by 2021 to meet the country's power demand in the future (Xinhua).
Hasn’t anyone considered solar power, given that our country is blessed with 9-10 hours of scorching sunlight almost everyday? I’m no energy/power scientist but I’m assuming that it is possible for buildings to generate enough energy from the sun to power itself and maybe even produce enough electricity to on-sell to the national grid.
Solar power is emission free and environmental friendly. It does not require the building of billion dollar Ringgit power plants, no need for clearing rainforests or diverting rivers to build dams.
Why are we not going solar?
