ENERGY CRISIS, THE MISTAKE OF THE OLD MEN TALE
themes The energy crisis facing Ghana is just none but a mistake of the leaders who have been mandated to steer the affairs of the rich mineral deposit country with little or no knowledge as to how to move the country out of this dilemma of troubles and misery. How can citizens pay a high amount of energy tariff and enjoy little or no energy?
Many leaders of Ghana have towed the wrong path to success by going the way of thermal in a bid to solve the energy crisis. during the erstwhile Kuffuor as well Mahama-led NDC administration power badges were brought all to no avail. I wonder whether this country with technocrats have lost their knowledge in energy and electricity matter. I ask this because even Germany with little sunlight can generate over 3000megawatt of energy then what are we sitting doing with abundance of sunlight to as much as over 50,000megawatts of energy from the southern sector only with the exception of the northern sector.
I wonder why we as a country neglected renewable energy to venture into thermal which need either gas or oil to power. Even countries like Dubai with huge oil reserves know definitely that their oil reserves will one day run out. Now China is generating a whole lot of energy from the land which needs no oil or gas to power.
It is high time we as citizen make our leaders to understand that renewable energy is the appropriate alternative aside the hydro in terms of our energy crisis. Renewable energy sources like the wind, sea waves, solar and nuclear are in abundance so therefore lets venture into it.
