THE PHILIPPINES IS FACED WITH THE RISING COST OF ELECTRICITY.
THIS PROBLEM HAS STRUCK THE FILIPINO PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
A POOR HOUSEHOLD MAY HAVE AROUND P500- P1,500 COST OF ELECTRICITY IN THEIR MONTHLY ELECTRIC BILL.
IT IS QUITE BURDENSOME TO CARRY MONTHLY BY THE POOR WHO IS DEPRIVED OF OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN THAT MUCH, AND HAS ONLY A FEW OPTIONS IN LIFE TO SOLVE SUCH A PROBLEM.
WHAT I PROPOSE HERE IF DONE WILL HELP LOWER THE COST OF ELECTRICITY IN THE PHILIPPINES:
I. INVESTMENT ON OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TO
ELECTRICITY TO LOWER THE COST OF ELECTRICITY IN THE FUTURE.
SUCH CAN BE THE FOLLOWING:
1. NUCLEAR POWER- THERE IS IMPROVEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY FEATURES OF THIS TYPE OF POWER, AND CAN PROVIDE A LOWER COST OF ELECTRICITY IN THE FUTURE FOR OUR COUNTRY THAN WHAT THE COAL PLANT CAN PROVIDE.
IT IS AN ENERGY SOURCE WITHOUT THE HIGH CARBON EMISSIONS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL WARMING.
2. WIND POWER- THIS SYSTEM IS ALREADY AT WORK IN ILOCOS NORTE, HELPING GENERATE ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE WIND WHICH IS ABUNDANT AND FREE IN OUR ISLAND.
IT CAN BE ERECTED NEAR COASTAL AREAS TO PROVIDE NATURE-FRIENDLY SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY.
3. HYDROELECTRIC- WHICH IS ALREADY OPERATIONAL IN OUR COUNTRY
4. GEOTHERMAL- ALSO OPERATIONAL IN OUR COUNTRY
5. BIOGAS- OUR COUNTRY HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED WASTE SEGREGATION SCHEMES.
WHY NOT ERECT BIOGAS PLANTS, WHEREIN THE BIODEGRADABLE WASTES GO AND IN THE PROCESS, CREATE BIOGAS, WHICH CAN HELP GIVE FUEL TO VARIOUS COMMUNITIES?
6. SOLAR POWER- SOLAR PANELS ERECTED AT VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO HELP GENERATE ENERGY TO CERTAIN COMMUNITIES TO HELP THEM HAVE ELECTRICITY
7. WAVE GENERATOR- THIS ENERGY GENERATOR USES THE POWER OF WAVES TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY.
IF THE TECHNOLOGY BECOMES FEASIBLE, IT MAY BE PLACED NEAR BEACHES ANS COASTLINES TO PROVIDE ENERGY THROUGH NATURE.
THESE ARE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS THAT CAN HELP LOWER THE COST OF ELECTRICITY OF OUR COUNTRY IN THE FUTURE.
INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN COAL PLANTS, SUCH ALTERNATIVE METHODS MAY HELP SOLVE THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY PROBLEMS IN OUR COUNTRY, THUS, WILL HELP LOWER THE COST OF ELECTRICITY IN OUR COUNTRY IN THE FUTURE, ALLEVIATING THE SUFFERING OF OUR COUNTRY MEN BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF ELECTRICITY, AND THUS HELPING OUR COUNTY MEN TO HAVE MORE AVAILABLE MONETARY RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THE OTHER NEEDS OF THE FILIPINO FAMILY.
MAY GOD HELP US IN IMPROVING THE PHILIPPINES TO HELP ITS CITIZENS HAVE BETTER LIVES.
