We cant sustain renewable energy at this point..coal still remains the number 1 energy source all over the world, infact upto 40% of the total energy produced world wide comes from coal. If what shes saying is true, ill beleive all the conspiracy theories we used to hear 3 Likes

Blaming the western world? hahaha. The western world wants a progressive naijeriaa to ensure more business for shell, mobil and co. Only an incorrigible first class idiott would blame the western world for this. The same western world buhari and his clowns go on regular touring. Even North korea, Iran and Zimbabwe, bonafide enemies of the west, cannot blame the western world for their energy crisis. 3 Likes |

muri4mig: Sometimes I really wonder if some of U take tym to process information before reasoning or dat u don't even reason all. Once d opinion differs from urs irrespective of how incisive and analytical it is, d pesin is simply a wailer. Pls get well soon and move beyond terming everyone with opposing view a wailer and instead criticize d issue or beta still air ur own opinion. This country flares enough gas to power Africa as a whole. Definitely d west hasn't outrightly asked the country not to use coal. A gud percentage of power in China, the US and most of these superpowers come from coal but in using coal for energy, certain conditions have to be met. It's simply d same thing with nuclear energy, everyone is scared of nuclear energy getting in the wrong hands and as such all the restrictions and conditions but doesn't mean some countries don't meet those conditions. Let d govt stop making excuses, sit their lazy asses down and work out feasible and viable conditions. It has to not jus b feasible but viable. 5 Likes |

shinarambo1: Desp9te the heavy carbon tax, does that stop China, as developed as they are from building more coal plant? They give us deadline but they are still building more abi? If they say we should look to alternative sources of energy, how come they that developed the technology have not moved to fully to it? The fact is we need power, lots and lots of power. We also have coal in abundance. The technology might be old for them but its still new for us. So they should allow us use the coal to giv ourselve light 2 Likes |

ozor1: No doubt coal is d number one source of energy in the whole world because it's quite cheap but all the countries using d same coal for energy are all signatories to the same convention and as such certain conditions and standards have to always be met and maintained for the continuous use of coal for energy generation. D same thing applies to nuclear energy. The IAEA has stringent rules regarding harnessing nuclear energy not because it is restricted to a few elite but because of d safety conditions it requires and d many other uses it can b put to. Japan is still yet to recover from the explosion at a nuclear plant some years ago. Those of us quick to point to the US, China and India's coal energy generation are simply jus being sentimental about it all. Why are we selective in making our comparisons with these countries. We shouldn't compare our economies because of some certain things that we are yet to put in place but we can compare their energy generation becos of the same certain things we are yet to put in place? Let's try to analyze issues like intellectuals. I don't think any of our hydropower stations is working to half it's capacity. Most of dem have either one or two turbines working where there's supposed to be an installed capacity of more than that. What happens to increasing the capacity of these turbines and replacing the old ones dat are still in use? Oh yes we've been made to believe pipelines supplying Gas is to blame but the last time I checked we still have "Hydro-electric" stations dat were in place before the gas stations came. 3 Likes |

Rubbis!! NIGERIA HAS THE BRAIN AND THE MAN POWER TO DEVELOP ITS OWN POWER STATIONS. It may not be as grand as the ones we have abroad but it will do the job. My brother schooled in MIT. He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and is heading a team developing huge wind energy facilities in europe (ROMANIA). There are several other Nigerians like him that have tonnes of practical knowledge that could be useful to this country but for some reason, our government will rather hire mediocres. We should utilize our graduates. Hire young and hungry engineers and charge them with the task of developing a power station and also give them a time-line. Provide the necessary funds and watch them perform wonders. 4 Likes |

TheEastActivist:You need to direct you criticism rationally. First of all, I do not think it is the finance minister who decides on the kind of power plants to build. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with using coal to generate electricity. Forget all the bulls**t about the environment, coal still provides 40% of world energy till date and the biggest developed and industralised countries are the biggest users of coal. The US gets over 40% of its power from coal, china gets over 75% of its power from coal, I can't remember the statistic from Germany but if I'm right, the Germans are currently building a very massive new coal plant as we speak. As a nation, just like a child, we must first learn to crawl and then walk, before we start thinking of running. Renewables (wind, solar etc) are far far more expensive that the traditional ways. Nigeria is presently in darkness, we still use kerosene lanterns in our homes and have tens of millions of tiny generators which emit 10,000 times more dangerous pollitants than whatever a coal plant can emit. This is just common sense, we must first walk before we start thinking of how to run. Even the industralised and developed who have all the money are not yet leaving coal power even for the next 50 years, yet you want a crippled child to jump and run faster. 3 Likes |

Nbote:The United state does not rely on one source of power, why should anybody else? We are not saying we will not improve what we already have, what we are saying is that we want to add other alternatives. You can't say because you are working on A you can have B,C,D and E. The idea of the government is to use coal in the east, wind mills and solar in the north, and still have the hydro. Nigeria energy need is too big to rely on one. 3 Likes |
