All commenting here are proposing solutions but look at our leaders – all of them are fighting – pointing fingers at each other, talking about seat adjustments and who gets what the next time around. The real solution is to get rid of these so called leaders.

Well i think its more of the mis planning while introducing gas kits for use in vehicles and in electric generator during Musharraf era welfare. our all economic ministry was failed to understand that till 2000 claims they were doing for billions of natural gas resources would spent away when public would be given cheap fuel and cars at through away loans . It was never thought people would spend this resource just for own personnel luxuries .
Now what govt has to do is to tapped this disadvantage and convert it in our strength .

1 Explore rather shift on Solar energy for industries and power plants then gas .
2 Early completion of water dams
3 try avoid fouling itself in expensive qatar gas contract cause it was well worked out that this is most expensive offer on the block for pakistan needs
4. Improve urban transport and encourage travelling to offices in official bus or transport or using public transport rather taing out personal car or vehicle for single person use.
5. In city blocks be marked for power plant using garbage to consume city garbage for cheap source of electricity

=====Please , Please and please be honest and loyal with this country in dealing with this problem rather scrubbing these ideas for own profit making them another acam ===========

May Allah bring some mercy on us from corrupt ones

The government should pick speed on Turkemanistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan(TAP), Iran-Pakistan-India(IPI) and Qatar-Pakistan gas pipelines .Ask USA & EU countries to develop atleast TAP line through intl Consortium.Security issue to this pipeline is not as big as projected.Given the adequate funds/weapons security companies positioned in Balochistan and Kandhar/Herat regions along the pipeline route will deliver the result.

Totally agree to you. One question I would however, ask the governments who reigned in the past 20 years is that were they sleeping all the time? Didn’t they knew that the gas consumption will increase up-to 80% by the year 2011? Why didn’t they thought of exploring more or looking for alternative resources then? Instead of allocating 80% of our budgets to forces why not allocate half of it on developmental tasks? I hope the next government does something good and ‘useful’ for the country.

Dr.Samar Mubarak Mund, the nuclear scientist working on Thar coal gasification project has said on a television channel that he can provide the required gas for the entire country within a year if he is given one and half billion dollar for the Thar coal project. He said he has successfully built four units and those are producing coal gas but the governmnet has failed to fetch the gases for use. All hands should be given with sufficient investment to help Dr. Samar Mubarak and his team so that countries power crisis is overcome.

Look at alternative sources of fuel.
Look at cleaner energy sources, solar, wind, hydro.
Better public transport system. subways, trams, official bus routes. new fuel efficient vehicles.
tolls for cars and company vehicles to use cbd roads and highways.
secure long term supplies for gas, oil and coal. whether this be internally or imported.
exploration for resources.
look at new advancements in technique to draw fuels from current sources. e.g shale, seam gas extraction.
This is all obviously dependent on no corruption, stable or reducing population and education of the public in regards to recycling, use of resources and there impact on the environment and society.

Well said Mr. Ahmad.

This is nothing else but the TRUTH.

The current leaders should be prosecuted and placed on ECL at the end of their term.

Prime Minister is so thick skinned; he should be ashamed of himself.

Stop the use of CNG in public transport.

Stop gas supply to industries.
