  Any country that has to fully rely on oil import should go electric.  You'll still oil for industry but less overall consumption, mixed in with some alternative energy grid protects yourself.

  对于菲律宾这样的群岛国家，有很好的自然条件大力发展太阳能和风能发电，然后实现陆上和海上公共交通的电动化。但这需要政府有长远的眼光和初始的投资去带动这个产业的起步。

  Love what the Pinoys are doing to improve the air quality in the Worst ASEAN city, Greater Manila (smokey mountain). However, in the documentary misses the biggest issue Brown Out. Not enough power. The people still depend a lot on private generators (mostly diesel) . The electric power infrastructure is so broken that it will cause more brownouts.

  Takot na takot tayo sa “foreigners,” pero sino ba talaga may ari ng langis, kuryente, tubig, at mga kumpanya dito?? Hindi dayuhan, kundi yung iilang local oligarchs at cronies natin.. sila lang ang nakikinabang sa 40% cap habang tayo ang nagtitiis sa pinakamahal na kuryente sa ASEAN.. think about it., Niloloko lang tayo na “protectionism” to para sa bansa, pero ang totoo, pinoprotektahan lang nila ang sarili nilang bulsa laban sa competition.. Kaya napag iiwanan ang Pinas ng Vietnam at Indonesia :( wag nating gawing scapegoat ang mga dayuhan kung sarili nating mga bilyonaryo at gobyerno ang sumasakal sa atin. the corruption here is too much.
