However, there should be other solutions to it. But then again, it's not a straight forward answer to it. There's always a projection of increasing power demand which have to be taken into consideration during the planning stage. 1 thing for sure, I don't see our gov undertaking any significant initiatives to harvest energy using alternative sources other than using fossil fuel (and hydrodam). Being in the equatorial region, we have sun and wind which we are not harvesting. Perhaps the ROI does not justify the investment but we should start planning for such alternative energy sources. It would be ideal to convert landfills to harvest bio-gas to run powerplants or 'green' incinerator to fuel powerplants. However, these initiative would normally be government initiatives as the return would be slow but it'll be good for the long run.</blockquote>
