Well we still have the Sun...

 

While we are wasting away the blardy billions of dollars to build the eco city of Tianjin, why not use the monies to get all the top brains here to think abt how to use & capture this free energy in a efficient and effective way?

 

Once we learnt the way, we can export our know-how and technologies to other countries.

 

 

Please don't. The moment the authorities know how to use the sun energy in an efficient way, we will be charged.

 

I don't want to go sun tan also have to pay because I use the sun.

you should understand the logic when you are living in SG.

 

if you are willing to pay so much for a small bird cage, then you should apprehend the electricity logic.

 

if you are willing to pay a car for about $100k when the OMV is only about $30k, then you should apprehend the electricity logic.

 

same goes to liquor, cigarettes, petrol and everything above SG land. =p

LOGIC = GAHMEN = PAP = PAY & PAY...

given the impending escalating price of crude oil and hence electricity, are you all in favour of nuclear powered generators which produces electricity at a fraction of the cost ?

Nuclear-powered? Given the size of Singapore, one mistake - we do not have anywhere to "let's move on".

[Zyrofillica]

we should use geothermal power. put the boilers on top of the erp gantries and congested roads, drivers get very hot in jams and at erp gantries especially when their unit goes "beep". a lot of wasted thermal energy is being emitted from these sources and should be captured and be integrated into our power grid. Classic example of effective use of human resources for resource scarce singapore.

I saw it on the television, at a disco where people dancing and it helps to generate some electricity. Then there is this Taiwan student project where they mod the helmet that it captures the wind and generate some current to power the hp charger.

[Zyrofillica]

i read about that somewhere too, and now also got local poly students trying to harness the wind from cars on our eways. brilliant. i should start researching on heat generated from road rage/frustration.

[Tkseah]

We should install Pedal Power Generators in our obese BMT camps.. make the obese recruits cycle to loose weight and generate electricity..

[Karoon]

well after 3 foreign companies bought our power stations for about S$4bil each, how else do you think they will recover their cost? by aiming for lower tariffs?

 

also, our power prices are benchmarked not just to to fuel oil price but also US exchange rate.

but despite USD going at record low, electricity price still went up up and away. kelong x 1000

i dun need their assurance etc.....i want them to subsidise electricity cost for singaporeans. is that too much to ask?

They do give some sort of rebates every now and then.... but unless you are so poor until you are nearly bleeding to death, the subsidies would be so insignificant it's almost meaningless.

 

My gripe is that the govt always ignore the plight of those who are not poor enough, and not quite rich either.

Also in sg, it's not too bad to be very poor, and fine to be very rich. But being in between sucks.

[Zyrofillica]

not too bad about being very poor? dear sir, pls justify that statement.

 

i dun understand how govt can sell away all our local coys for monetary profit? I mean, basics like petrol (SPC), electricity being owned by foreigners, won't that put our standard of living in the hands of the foreigners and out of control of our govt? They prefer immediate cash gains over future living conditions for singaporeans?
