The Search for Alternatives
The crises in the power and gas sector are largely attributed to the past government's inaction, mismanagement and flawed policy in the energy sector. Apart from virtually no gas exploration activity even the bleak forecast of the national committee on gas utilisation did not induce the government to look for viable alternatives to this fast depleting resource.
