“It is unrealistic to expect individual nations to make, independently, the sacrifices necessary to conserve energy.
International leadership and worldwide cooperation are essential if we expect to protect the world’s energy resources
for future generations.”

It is true that major chunk of energy sources are in control of a few countries like Russia ,Middle East countries ,or OPEC nations .and as the demand increases globally due to rise in population or different kind of energy consuming equipments these resources will deplete with drastic pace.

These days the best way out to drive any equipment is definately electricity with least pollution

but to generate electricity the basic fuel will be natural gas ,coal or enriched uraniuam all are being mined from womb of earth with rapid pace to meet energy demands which always remain one step ahead of the supply possible.

Now there are two ways to fill this gap between demand and supply either we explore new frontiers by using renewable energy sources like tidal energy,solar energy,bio gas fuel wind power etc. or we limit our consumption in such a way that this question of scarcity never arise.

Going with renewable energy sources first of all they are very inefficient as low as 2% is convertible ratio to energy.The euipment required to produce the energy need a exhaustive research work to bring them at realistic level. One of major thing is geographical conditions of a particular place play a decisive role whether renewable energy source are available there in sufficient amount or not .Only a very minor plus point of these resources is if they are available they are in abundance and they are for free and probably never ending like solar energy.

Now comes the point of self descipline ,self constraints that we ourselves become cautious and use energy resources economically.For small euipments use solar panels for water heating,street lights etc. Hybrid vehicle which can run on electricity, use car pooling and other ways to save parallel fuel consumption.

But all this responsibility is always on those countries which are already have minimal energy resources and struggling to cope with there basic need of day to day basis may be a single bulb at night and a fan. In India there is thousands villages where till even now there is no electricity or not adequate supply for regular basis.

The country like China who also have limited energy resources and vast population probably believe in self dignity that she put strict regulations on her citizen to fulfill there requirement with available resources for long term .There are strict car pooling instructions in major metro cities ,infrastructure being developed for mass rapid trains ,road are being developed with international standards to save fuel from transport vehicles,emphasis being given on the use of fast train network on long distances which run on electricity.

To improve the efficiency of industries in consumption of energy there is a big need of research and development of quality equipments and country like China investing a lot for this purpose taking in to account long term perspective.But probably all this is possible when a country give priority to the benefit of whole populations rather then a few individual or capitalists.And this is possible in country like China where rules are rather implemented and executed strictly . May be in precise terms communalism rather then socialism help to achieve these goals.

One the other hand developed countries like America (the so called super power) where mind set is mainly capitalist ,which consumes almost 20% of entire world energy consumption every year and probably pollute the whole world more than any other nation on globe, also dictates the rules ,terms and conditions to be imposed on mainly third world countries ,developing or under developed nations that how they will use their own resources or how they are responsible for polluting environment.May be by using facade of United Nations or depriving by imposing sanctions on vital resources for them.The USA has a dubious or double standard for any global issue when it is concern of there intrest the rule regulations goes her way ,when it comes for others interest then this nation become the preecher of almost ideal condition and claims to be saviour of whole earth.

And sometimes to go beyond its requirements probably fullfill her greed it follows mallicious intentions to invade a natural resource rich nation like Iraq .

Countries of european union although indirectly dependent on OPEC nations or Russia for fullfilling their energy requirments but population of these countries in total is far less as compare to India ,China and USA and they are firm beliver in continuous technology improvment in their equipments and vehicles with best standards in the world be it EURO 5 or other.

So after this elaboration what i believe is the G-20 nations at least ,with consortium of OPEC nations should sit together taking into account the optimum interest of every voluminous economy with population ,geographical conditions or availability of resources chalk out a internationally acceptable road map or regulations to conserve energy and best possible use of available resources. Keeping away the self interests of individual nation which can hamper the prosperity of others.

At last there should be a mid way between socialism and communalism and capitalism is strictly

no no.Socialism should be with out corruption and communalism should be with out inhuman treatment of manekind.Then only the conservation of resources can be achieved with collective effort of entire world countries.
