  Over the years, we have been hearing government officials talk about abondant sun light in the country. Why are they not looking for a solution to this problem though renewable energy?

  you have the money for solar? solar is not just the panel you see on a roof? educate yourself. What we need to rather seek for is effeciancy from our leaders and those we put in power. Our main problem in ghana is that corruption pays. and with the useless democracy we have, everything is now politics. If it is of your party and it is wrong dont say it fight it-that is the so called democracy we have. The day we have true acccountabily were people get really purnished for wrong doings irrespective of who is in power ,nothing will change. OUR CONSTITUTION REALLY NEEDS A SHAKE UP

  THESE ETERNAL ENERGY STABILIZATION TAXES AND LEVIES MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE SALARIES AND EX-GRATIA PAYOUTS TO ALL OF GHANA'S THIEVING POLITICIANS INCLUDING OTHER ARTICLE 74 OFFICEHOLDERS FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE IN NOT FORESEEING AND IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSES OF THESE ENERGY CHALLENGES AND FINDING A PERMAMENT SOLUTION TO THIS "ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL" FRAUDULENT PRACTICE OF ENERGY STABILIZATION TAXES AND LEVIES ETERNALLY IMPOSED ON ORDINARY GHANAIAN TAXPAYERS.
  
  THESE ENERGY LEVIES GENERATED MUST BE PAID INTO AN ESCROW OR OTHER DEDICATED ACCOUNT AND USED ON MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL GHANAIANS. IT IS TAXPAYERS MONEY, AND MUST CEASE TO BE PART OF THE LOOTED ASSETS OF GHANA'S THIEVING LEADERS.
  
  FIRSTLY, WHY MUST ORDINARY GHANAIAN CONSUMERS OF ENERGY PAY FOR THE INCOMPETENCE AND ENDEMIC CORRUPTION OF GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS FOR THEIR FAILURE TO FIND AND ADOPT THE MANY LASTING SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE IN ORDER TO END THIS ETERNAL SHORTFALLS IN GHANA'S ENERGY REVENUES GENERATION.
  
  WHY MUST ORDINARY GHANAIANS SUFFER THE INCOMPETENCE AND FRAUDULENT NATURE OF GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS? GHANA'S IRRESPONSIBLE LEADERS ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS, SO THEY MUST SUFFER TO FIX THOSE PROBLEMS, AND NOT THE ORDINARY GHANAIAN TAXPAYER AND ENERGY CONSUMER.
  
  RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT THE ABILITY TO REASONABLY SPOT AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE(S) OF GHANA'S ETERNAL ENERGY AND OTHER PROBLEMS AS THEY ARISE, AND FIND LASTING SOLUTIONS TO THOSE PROBLEMS. THAT'S WHY TAXPAYERS PAY GHANA'S FUCKING LEADERS GENEROUS MONTHLY SALARIES AND A PLETHORA OF ALLOWANCES, PLUS EX-GRATIA OR "THANK YOU" PAYOUTS ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS FOR A JOB WELL DONE, AND NOT FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION OF STATE FUNDS AND ANY STATE ASSET THAT CROSSES THEIR PATHS.
  
  GHANA'S FUCKING THIEVING LEADERS SHOULD VISIT TAX-FREE SAUDI ARABIA'S US$1 TRILLION "NEOM" PROJECT AND OTHER MASSIVE ULTRA-MODERN URBANIZATION AND INDUSTRIALISATION MASTERPIECES, AND LEARN THE COMMONSENSE IN HOW THE SAUDIS ARE PASSIONATELY INVESTING MASSIVELY IN SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION PROJECTS IN THE SAUDI DESERT.
  
  THE SAME APPLIES TO TAX-FREE QATAR,THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, KUWAIT, BAHRAIN, AND OMAN. ALL THESE TAX-FREE GULF ARAB STATES ARE PASSIONATELY DEVELOPING THEIR ECONOMIES WITH A VARIETY OF ULTRA-MODERN BREATHTAKING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS FOR THEIR OWN GOOD.
  
  THE TAX-FREE GULF ARAB STATES HAVE NO RIVERS, LAKES AND WATERFALLS. THEY HAVE NO WIND ENERGY. THEY HAVE ONLY SOLAR ENERGY TO FALL BACK ON FOR THEIR ELECTRICITY GENERATION, HENCE THEY'VE INVESTED MASSIVLEY IN SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION WITHOUT IMF AND OTHER LOANS WHATSOEVER.
  
  SADLY, DEEPLY CORRUPT "EFUOM" BANKRUPT GHANA LEADERS ARE STILL SLEEPING LIKE FOOLS! THESE TAX-FREE GULF ARAB STATES DO NOT HAVE A QUARTER OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES GHANA IS ENDOWED WITH, BUT THEY ARE BY FAR AHEAD OF BANKRUPT GHANA WITH ONLY THEIR CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRIMARY EXPORT REVENUES.
  
  GHANA IS ENDOWED WITH ABUNDANT ANNUAL RAINFALL AVERAGING OVER 12". GHANA HAS MASSIVE RIVERS, LAKES AND WATERFALLS, YET OUR FUCKING "EFUOM" THIEVING LEADERS HAVE FAILED TO GENERATE EXPORT REVENUES, NOT IMF LOANS, FROM OUR GOLD, CRUDE OIL, NATURAL GAS, DIAMONDS, BAUXITE AND LITHIUM EXPORT REVENUES TO CONSTRUCT MASSIVE DAMS TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT HYDRO-ELECTRICITY TO POWER IN THE WHOLE RELATIVELY SMALL GHANA?
  
  WHAT IF NKRUMAH HADN'T CONSTRUCTED THE AKOMSOMBO DAM, LATER TO BE SUPPLEMENTED BY KPONG DAM?
  
  GHANA HAS PLENTY OF WIND ENERGY, YET GHANA'S THIEVING LEADERS CANNOT HARNESS WIND ENERGY AND INVEST IN THIS FREE WIND WE'VE BEEN ENDOWED WITH 24/7 BY GOD. WHY?
  
  GHANA HAS PLENTY OF SOLAR ENERGY AND RADIATION, YET GHANA'S THIEVING LAZY LEADERS CANNOT HARNESS SOLAR ENERGY AND INVEST IN EXPANSIVE PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS TECHNOLOGY AND BATTERIES TO HARNESS THIS FREE SOLAR RADIATION WE'VE BEEN ABUNDANTLY ENDOWED WITH BY GOD.
  
  GHANA HAS THE DISUSED ATOMIC REACTORS AT KWABENYA CONSTRUCTED BY DR. NKRUMAH OF BLESSED MEMORY TO BE POWERED BY THE PLENTY OF PLUTONIUM AND URANIUM DEPOSITS ALL ALONG THE GULF OF GUINEA COASTAL BELT FOR THERMO-ELECTRICITY GENERATION, YET GHANA'S THIEVING LAZY LEADERS CANNOT ENGAGE WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY (IAEA) FOR THE GO-AHEAD TO HARNESS THESE NATURAL RESOURCES AND INVEST IN EXPANSIVE THERMO-ELECTRICITY ENERGY GENERATION TECHNOLOGY. WHY? WHAT IS KNUST THERE FOR?
  
  MANY NATIONS HAVE DONE THE ABOVE, INCLUDING NUCLEAR POWERS INDIA AND PAKISTAN. SOUTH AFRICA USED TO BE THE ONLY NUCLEAR POWER IN AFRICA, BUT THEY FOOLISHLY DISASSEMBLED THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES AND BECAME A SIGNATORY TO THE IAEA INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY. SO, AFRICA WILL BE POWERLESS AND USELESS IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A NUCLEAR RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPE FALLOUT IN OUR CONTINENT. THAT'S AFRICA FOR YOU!

  The introduction of the levy for the sole purpose of purchasing fuel to mitigate dumsor could only be a short term solution and may not be sustainable. It only will encourage the business as usual option leading to more inefficiencies and loses. Rather, the levy should be used to focus on supporting the establishment of long term power generation plants that can produce affordable energy to support industrilization and value addition. Industrilising countries like China, Korea, India, Malaysia among others have shown the way to cheap power generation. Let's follow their examples and use the levy rather to invest in:
  a) Ghana's found natural gas processing and distribution infrastructure to provide cheaper fuel for power plants.
  b) Grid infrastructural enhancement to reduce transmission losses.
  c) Establishing Nuclear Power and Clean Coal power Plants which offers affordable and reliable power for industries
  The reliance on oil for power generation is only to support emergency power generation to avert dumsor but should not be the long term solution for power generation in Ghana as has been the case of Kalpower, Aksa and other IPPs.
