Summary Draft 2 - Clean Energy Transition

In the article, Ha (2019) wrote on experts who addressed how Southeast Asia (SEA) should implement various methods to beget green energy production. According to Ha, Moniz, who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures and Nuclear Threat Initiative, stated that deploying an array of "low-carbon technologies and solutions" in SEA is vital to reducing emissions. Moniz also mentioned that Singapore is inapt for the usage of solar and wind power due to having limited natural resources and space and may reap more from nuclear fusion or hydrogen power. However, implementing such methods is not cost efficient to meet the objective of the Paris Agreement. On the other hand, Wong, the Group Chief Executive of utilities company Singapore Power, believes that  balancing energy consumption rates are more critical than creating a new energy source to suit our current lifestyle. Instead, according to an Ecosperity report, it would be more beneficial for SEA if energy conservation methods were emphasised more while accommodating growing economic needs. Singapore, in my opinion, is challenged by climate change and is in urgent need of additional sustainable and renewable energy sources, primarily solar energy.
