		<description><![CDATA[Dear Umer Farooq 
It is correct that most industrialized states are responsible for most of the CO2 damage etc - [not to mention the extreme forest destruction all over the globe]. I also note that the recent conference was held in the country with the highest per-head energy consumption in the world.
When a ship is sinking - all peoples in all countries must immediately start their own strategies instead of waiting for &quot;lengthly blame-placement discussions&quot;. 
Pakistan with it&#039;s ample sun, reasonable wind and hydro - combined with relativly well-skilled industrial workers, mechanics and engineers/technicans - is indeed very well-placed.- for the immediate and massive introduction of RE-technology.
Please note: - The world&#039;s first modern solar power plant dates from 1908 in Egypt and Denmark had series production of wind-diesel de-central power generation units already from 1904.
Almost every roadside truck-mechanic workshop in Pakistan - [provided there is an availibility of certain elementary components such as 5 m blades, heavy truck back axles and 10-15 kW generators] - could build and assemble a long-life 10-22 kW wind turbine within the space of a few short weeks..
This has all be done before.
Please read - &quot;Energy Crisis in Pakistan - Dr.Muhammad Asif - Oxford Univ.. Press - 2011
and the several books and booklets of Dr. Nasim A. Khan.
Concerning land re-habilation - Mr. Mahmood Futehally from Agrotool in Karachi is world-famous in this field.

best wishes - John Furze - Energy Advisor [retd]]]></description>
