Pakistan relies heavily on thermal energy sources like gas and fossil fuels for electricity production. However, due to a lack of domestic production capabilities, Pakistan must import these resources. This dependence on imported fuels is unsustainable and contributes to issues like global warming. The document proposes increasing utilization of renewable sources like wind and solar energy, which Pakistan has in abundance. Major countries around the world have already invested heavily in wind and solar power production.

12. GLOBAL WARMING…A BIG ISSUE Burning fossil fuels has increased atmospheric pollution. Vehicle exhausts contribute to acid rain more so than power stations burning coal. The carbon stored in fossil fuels is released as carbon dioxide when they are burnt – this leads to the green house effect and global warming 10

14. The demand for energy has increased in tremendous proportions in the last few decades in Pakistan; & isexpected to increase further in the coming years. The increase in cost of fossil fuel and the various environmental problems of large scale power generation have lead to increased appreciation of the electricity generation from non-conventional sources. Wind and Solar energies are the possible clean and low cost renewable resources available in the country. Wind power provides opportunity to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuel and at the same time expands the power supply capacity to remote locations where grid expansion is not practical. Wind energy is an ideal renewable energy because: 1. it is a pollution-free, infinitely sustainable form of energy 2. it doesn’t require fuel 3. it doesn’t create greenhouse gasses it doesn’t produce toxic or radioactive waste. 12
