Short distances are the best way to save transport costs.</p>\n<p>- It's suitable for both solar and hydro power. Solar will have the largest capacity, but hydro is needed to store energy for when it's used.</p>\n<p>- It doesn't have large oil or gas reserves. </p>\n<p>- Its future is threatened by global warming.</p>\n<p>- There's room for economic growth, so that new infrastructure can be built quickly.</p>\n<p>- There are sea ports and navigable rivers, because water transport is still the most energy-efficient mode, even though it will probably keep using dirty fuel.</p>\n<p>This means that a whole range of coastal Asian countries from Pakistan to China would be ideal for sustainable transport, including India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. In the short term, political will and political stability would also play a role.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pk2etrhyf","appParentAuthor":"crypto-wisdom","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
