Energy : Prudence vs Popularity

[摘要] Two approaches to non-fossil energy manufacturing are suggested. This is an editorial-opinion that highlights why stimulating global economic growth and sustainable global peace are inextricably linked. Entrapment of world leaders caught in the net of their polling data works wonders to push popular measures rather than the balanced choices, the prudent options. Energy deprivation is one cause whose effects are staggering. Energy politics is a reason why a third of the world struggles to survive on about a dollar a day or less than one meal a day. There are no major insurmountable barriers to alleviate this dysfunctional energy dynamics except the ignorance of a few who choose to remain scientifically illiterate. But governments are pawns in their hands! They are skilled rebel rousers and formidable political operators. They are brilliant in massaging public opinion and hence, polling figures, to force the implementation of policies that fuels riots, wars, poverty and hunger but detracts from manufacturing energy.
