Government Spending

I wrote last year about the need of our government to spend on renewable energy. Today I saw in the Brunei Times newspaper an Aussie expert calling for the government to subsidize solar power in the sultanate. Interesting isn't it?

I wonder if the official in charge will heed to this expert's calling. Sincerely, we do not need some foreigners to tell us what to do. We have the knowledge, know-how and capability to put on our thinking cap. Alas, we believe more on consultants than our own initiatives.

Anyway, I honestly hope that we took the advice on board as we a monetarily sovereign nation has the mean, capacity, and resources to create our own money and invest into renewable energy initiatives. We do not need to wait for FDI nor oil and gas money. Brunei dollar is still good enough!
