Energy Crisis: New Coal Power Plants in the Philippines

Power plants are some problems that we also face, we have a lot of problems if we lack them.The country is giving help to our country but they try everything just to save money. The problem that Subic would face is that two coal plants will soon rise there, "they will give the people untolerable and unacceptable levels of pollution" just to provide electricity. The people might benefit at first from the electricity that they would get but they will soon feel the bad effects of the pollution that the plant would generate. The health of the residents affected by the power plants would deteriorate in the future.

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority has issued an environmental compliance to a company that was also a part of a joint venture which has proposed to build the two coal-fired power plants to ensure that the power plants would'nt harm that much the environment and the people nearby.

These two power plants would'nt only affect the Philippines, but it could also affect the whole world. It will add to global warming which is a major problem right now. These could also affect the economy of the Philippines for they might make the tourists go away. The government needs to think about others before themselves, if only they would stop corruption, the problems of the people would be dealt in a more efficient way.

There are a lot of solutions that can be done to solve the problems of the people regarding electricity, the country just won't spend the right amount of money for the greater solution. Windmills must be created because they are nature friendly and there are a lot of places in the Philippines where it is windy. A geothermal power plant would also work well in providing energy without harming the environment that much. Using biomass in fuels would also help a lot because it reduces carbon it is accepted as a carbon-neutral fuel, it's just like recycling. One good alternative would be the the user of solar cells because you can get energy from the sun without harming anything from the environment and it would make the sun really useful. Some rivers that are somehow forgotten are also helpful in terms of providing energy with hydroelectric plants. Some beaches in the philippines that has no occupants should have wave farms, it would generate a lot of power because the winds also help the waves in generating power. Hydro powerplants also help in giving energy, Philippines has a lot of places where there is always a high tide. The people should start caring for the environment and think of better solutions to lessen the problems in the future.
