energy choices because in the next decade such a mix will
be imperative”, he said.

Ride on my Able FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.. This is what we call government. Let the people know your plan. Communicate with your people so that they won't felt like they have been use and dump..

Unlike some past Government.. This Government may not pass any single information to the people in months (although they have no plan) unless they want to tell the citizen about Subsidy Removal..

What could ve prompted this barbaric act.

No b only women dy suffer domestic violence,men too are victims,just dat it nevr get reported or simply settled

This is not rocket science. .. .. What we need is super improved coal power plants and nuclear power plants.... gas power plants are u small scale power projects... Below 1000MW but if u want more.... Coal and nuclear remain the best
.. .. Our gas master plan should be such that industries have direct supply of gas to produce there own power this will really help us
