Most governments throughout the world are
short sighted in term of devising a policy and so their goals and targets are
short term goals. The polices needs to undergo a considerable change and my
idea towards it is to bring in a 10 year plan. It may be a 10 year plan but it
would definitely have short terms targets. I feel that the Policy should not be
a 'trend' driven or market driven but a policy which is helps in reduce the usage of fossil fuel on
the long run. The policy should be focused on the betterment of the regional
community and its surrounding environment than a general policy with a common
goal.
For example, I feel that if the government is
ready to subsidize the System costs and help the budding renewable energy
players and consumers to grow in developing countries, it will not only have a
positive impact on the community(creating new jobs) but it will also bring in the
awareness of energy conservation. The
policy should be framed in such a way that not only the needs of the local
electricity boards are cratered but enough funding and budget allocation should
also go to other departments in the country as well. To implement it and make
it successful , other departments such as educational department, Small scale
industries department, Land department, local municipality, National Banks,
etc. should be roped in.
Through the educational department, schools
should be funded with books and renewable energy based exhibitions to promote
renewable energy. Textbooks and special course can be introduced in schools explaining
them about the benefits of renewable
energy /sustainable energy/energy conservation.
