Coal-Rush of Pakistan : Time to Judge Our Preferences in Energy Sector
Coal, one of the most inexpensive but dirtiest forms of energy, significantly contributes to the energy mix of many Asian countries. Whereas currently the share of coal energy in Pakistan,s energy sector is negligible, however policymakers have recently decided to shift toward increased coal production for overcoming the country's power crisis. In the wake of global climatic changes, deteriorating air quality in Pakistan and the huge potential for renewable energy sector, the drive towards coal energy is but a short sighted strategy. This paper emphasizes the need for transition to clean energy and highlights the implications of the drive towards coal energy
