"In a world where almost everything is run by machines it not surprising that we are also running out of energy sources what worsens the case is that the energy sources that we use are destroying the world we are living in. Another dilemma people are now facing is these energy sources are bound to vanish years from now. The potential of renewable sources is massive as they are expected to meet world's energy demand. Renewable energy sources are biomass, hydropower, geothermal, solar, wind and marine energies they can provide sustainable energy services, based on the use of routinely available, indigenous resources. The renewable resources such as biomass, wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services, based on the use of routinely available, indigenous resources are attractive renewable fuel in utility boilers."

"The economic development of one country is dependent upon the ability of the authorities to set up a highly suitable, competitive and reliable electricity sector. Why is natural gas better than coal boilers?"

Crown Capital Management International Relations Deputy Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Susilo Siswo Utomo also said a government probe into the tunnel collapse should end in one or two months. Arizona-based Freeport suspended operations at the world's No. 2 copper mine on May 15, a day after the training tunnel, away from its main operations, fell in on 38 workers. Several investigations are being conducted into the accident at the Grasberg mine complex, including one by the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and one by Freeport Indonesia using international experts. Susilo told reporters on Monday the open-pit production would restart in the immediate future and there was no reason for it not to resume as the investigation was not being done in the production area. The Grasberg mine normally produces around 220,000 tonnes of concentrated ore a day, with around 140,000 tonnes coming from open-pit mining and 80,000 tonnes from underground operations. Some industry analysts say the mine could face a prolonged closure and further strain relations between Freeport and trade unions after a three-month strike there in late 2011. Freeport Indonesia could not be contacted by telephone on Monday. On Saturday, as many workers carried out maintenance work, a Freeport spokeswoman said any restarting of operations would depend on the outcome of underground safety inspections being carried out by the energy and mineral resources ministry. A union official at Freeport Indonesia reiterated that all investigations into the cause of the collapse must be completed before mining resumes at the Grasberg complex, which also holds the world's largest gold reserves. "The union welcomes the management's decision to resume maintenance activities in Grasberg open-pit mining, but not for production activities," Papua-based union leader Virgo Solos

CROWN Welcome to The CROWN where global issues are extensively discussed and fiercely debated from both sides of the argument - by one person. The Writer Nolan is a great enthusiast of international relations, rooting from his extensive exposure in global journalism. He believes that instead of the limited context, and sometimes just plain hostile views, presented by the popular news providers, it is more important to understand the underlying management issues by knowing the whole story or presenting both sides of the story. Everything written on this site (reports, opinions, analysis and all) is from Nolan and shows how he perceives the world situation these days. Pertinent and timely issues range from environment, politics, economy and pretty much everything that has to do with diplomatic relations. The Backstory Nolan started writing his opinions on timely issues in a journal that gradually turned into newspaper contributions. It was then he decided that nothing could be better than having his own website where he is free to fool around express his self-declared intellectual opinion pieces to his heart's content. Armed with his frustration of the mainstream media voice, Nolan took it into his head to make his own venue for discussing not only the hot topics but also the more relevant but eclipsed-in-mainstream-media news. (One of these days he might actually get the pressure to write a more detailed and eloquent history of how this site came to be. But until then, suit yourself with this summary.) Aims His inclination in sharing his insights and analysis of global concerns is what strongly motivated him in creating The CROWN - aside from the fact that he wants to correct the misrepresentation and bias done by mainstream media on a regular basis.
