Unique beginning in Nepal

Reworld events are reshaping our needs to generate our own energy. The disaster in Japan, with the Fukushima power plant’s three nuclear reactors now in meltdown, and coupled with monumental troubles in the turbulent Middle East, and with large, oil-exporting countries like Libya in Africa are creating whole new stresses. It also doesn’t seem that the price of energy is set to decrease anytime soon.In Nepal, we have two major, and regular, problems: electricity and fuel. What does the future hold for us to make these two essential items available and affordable?The word “hydroelectricity” has been on the tip of everyone’s tongue for decades now, given Nepal’s yet massive water resources. The Khimti and Karnali projects are being slated as the dispellers of the nation’s energy and economic woes. But does this help solve our power issues, as well as our necessity for fuels?Since earthquakes and tidal waves struck and tormented Japan, the world seems to be reversing its idea of “going nuclear” as the method for meeting escalating energy demands. Germany and Italy are amongst two of the biggest and developed countries to have resoundingly turned their backs on the idea. Germany is even moving more towards becoming a model of green power for all to follow.
