Good idea, wrong application. Here is why?

Sewage problem

1. Solution was CHEAP (in $$ terms, perhaps $500)
2. Sewage could be fixed LOCALLY.


Electricity problem
Electricity issue is WAY out of REACH of Pakistan's resources.

1. Solution is expensive in terms of capital costs ($billion 60-100) and operational costs are significant too.

2. Electricity issue is NATIONAL, Inter-provincial and Global.

--a. Provinces have to change their rhetoric on hydro-electric and coal based power

--b. Pakistani nation has to sign NPT immediately.

--c. We have to beg plead for $billion 60-100 loans to be payable over 30 years.

--d. We have to beg and plead (and no dada-giri) to get the latest coal and nuclear tech for energy production from the West.


Unfortunately us Pakistanis cannot compromise on many of our provincial issues (KBD, Thur, Sui), or national issues (NPT).

So even if we drag our leaders on the streets, loadshedding is here to stay.
