Pakistan is a country that is going through a very tough time because of the energy crisis, the economy of the state is adversely affected by this shortfall and it is being observed that increasing unemployment and decreasing per capita income of the state have also been the point of focus and alarming for the state. Although these problems are several but still if proper steps are taken and appropriate solutions are being adopted we can get rid of this very crucial problem.
The very basic solution to the energy crisis is to develop new ways and sources of generating energy in Pakistan. Pakistan is a country that is blessed with numerous minerals and resources that might be very useful in developing energy. The very powerful source that is being adopted in many of the developed countries is solar energy. Solar panels are used which convert the direct sunlight emitted from the sun and transform it into electrical energy which might be used to run several other processes. Sunlight is one source that will never come to an end so it could be an ultimate source of energy if it is being utilized properly.
Wind energy is also a very convenient source of generating energy and once the setup is established it can produce very economical energy. The only requirement is to create a series of windmills in such areas where the average wind speed is high and there are so many ideal locations for this setup to get built. Nuclear energy is also a very powerful and competent source for generating power and for solving the power crisis in Pakistan. In the modern age Nuclear energy is being used as the major source of generating energy in many of the countries of the world which includes the USA, China, Russia, and even the UK.
In Pakistan the main emphasis is being made on hydropower generation in which water is being used to generate energy so in account of this source we can build more dams and reservoirs which might give a further enhancement and up boost in the energy production of the country.
Relying only on petrol and CNG will not be a good option as these resources might come to extinct very soon because of such high consumption of these resources. So for that purpose, Pakistan should focus on the extraction of Coal and utilize it because it is being stated that Pakistan is one of those leading countries that have the highest reserves of Coal and other minerals that are still to be discovered.
