In the last 30 years, Pakistan has faced an epic energy crisis, and the government has fumbled spectacularly in trying to match supply with demand. For some mysterious reason, policymakers have completely ignored green energy options like hydro power, solar, and wind energy. It could be a lack of political will or just plain laziness of the ruling elite. Our politicians seem to be afflicted with a chronic case of "poor decision-making."

The Marvels of Silent Work
The immense power harnessed by the Sun and the air to lift water from the oceans in form of clouds, transport it across vast distances, and release it as rain is beyond imagination.
Engineers have calculated that the energy required to create and lift vapor from one acre of the Earth's surface equals the power of thirty horses. For the entire planet, this force is 800 times greater than all the natural water power combined.
Mother Nature has been performing this extraordinary task for the benefit of humankind since the dawn of time.
Human achievements of similar magnitude, accomplished quietly through moral and intellectual strength, reveal such phenomena. The influence of ideas alone has permeated entire nations, crossed oceans, and transformed the very foundations of human society.
A single book can carry the silent force of thought, inspiring masses in one country and inciting action against another. World War I, World War II, and numerous regional and continental conflicts were the result of such ideas.
