description | Stimulating economic growth and sustainable global peace are inextricably linked.
Entrapment of world leaders caught in the net of their polling data works wonders
to push popular measures rather than the balanced choices, the prudent options.
Energy deprivation is one cause whose effects are staggering. Energy politics is a
reason why a third of the world struggles to survive on about a dollar a day or less
than one meal a day. There are no major insurmountable barriers to alleviate this
dysfunctional energy dynamics except the ignorance of a few who choose to remain
scientifically illiterate. But governments are pawns in their hands! They are skilled
rebel rousers and formidable political operators. They are brilliant in massaging
public opinion and hence, polling figures, to force the implementation of policies
that fuels riots, wars, poverty and hunger but detracts from manufacturing energy. |

But governments are pawns in their hands! They are skilled rebel rousers and formidable political operators. They are brilliant in massaging public opinion and hence, polling figures, to force the implementation of policies that fuels riots, wars, poverty and hunger but detracts from manufacturing energy. Two approaches to non-fossil energy manufacturing are suggested. This is an editorial-opinion that highlights why stimulating global economic growth and sustainable global peace are inextricably linked.
