  Thanks for the idea.
  1. Solar panels for houses and offices
  2. Feed excess solar production into the grid.
  3. New buildings must be energy efficient - allow enough sun light in during the day.
  4. Roof green tech as way of ...

  Thanks for the idea.
  1. Solar panels for houses and offices
  2. Feed excess solar production into the grid.
  3. New buildings must be energy efficient - allow enough sun light in during the day.
  4. Roof green tech as way of cooling houses and offices (google roof green for more information)
  5. Many, many more renewable energy sources and energy conservation mechanisms

  Yentie obiaa is the main part of the problem! Ridding ourselves of him is half the problem solved!

  “We need a Think Tank that will sit down and plan our energy issues for the next 30 years. This may not be thinkable to many people but if some people are thinking about 50 years, then why not also think about 30 years and then we begin to find strategies by which we can get this solved,” Prof Owiredu said.

  Dr, Akpalu, why don't you team up with Drs. Owiredu and Eric Twum to start the Energy Think Tank?
  We are sick and tired of dumsor-dumsor.

  As the population continues to grow, and we continue to industrialize our power source must expand. Do we buy transformers that can be upgraded, or compatible with future technology or discarded products outmoded at inception? How about fuel efficient machines? The list can go on and on. If we only react to population explosion or industrial expansion, then somebody is not thinking right.

  Why don't Drs. Charles Owiredu and his fellow energy expert, Eric Twum get together to form such Energy Think Tank.
  
  We cannot wait for 30 to 50 years for their version of energy plan to help us solve our energy crisis.

  Why don't Drs. Charles Owiredu and his fellow energy expert, Eric Twum get together to form such Energy Think Tank.
  
  We cannot wait for 30 to 50 years for their version of energy plan to help us solve our energy crisis.
  
  Instead of talking about your long tern energy plan, why don't you put it on paper for us to join the conversation.
  
  I hope the energy plan is sane and sustainable enough to include renewable sources of energy, and energy efficiency.
