PM calls on energy council to boost credibility among public

 

 

BANGKOK, 9 March 2018 (NNT) - Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has called on the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) to boost its credibility among the general public and work to ensure stability in the energy sector. 

Gen Prayut urged the council to carefully study public issues, in order to produce clear solutions that benefit the public and to integrate those solutions into development policies. 

He also urged the committee to clearly define the country's energy policy, in order to ensure stability in the energy sector. The policy must include the use of renewable energy and ways to increase efficiency and reduce costs, so that the country can maintain energy reserves for posterity.

With his promised election dates carved in sawdust, credibility is something he's obviously an expert on

Too bad they do not have a roll model, credible example

Sorry to say this but perhaps one of the biggest hindrances to government credibility might be the PM himself.

To be lampooned as Pinocchio might give a clue to that fact.

Maybe Prayut forgot what NEPC has been doing during his time as PM:

ERIA(2017), ‘Coal-fired Power Plants in Thailand’, in Murakami, T.(ed.), Creating Better Social Acceptance for Electric Power Infrastructure. ERIA Research Project Report 2016-05, Jakarta: ERIA,

pp.3-18:

• "Both PDP2015 and IEEJ’s Asia/World Energy Outlook 2016 demonstrate that coal will sustain or even expand its importance in Thailand’s energy mix."
• "The IEEJ also estimates that electricity demand will double and one-third of the growth will be covered by coal-fired power plants."

http://www.eria.org/RPR_FY2016_No.5_Chapter_1.pdf

"Southeastern country Thailand imported about 1.6 million tonnes of thermal coal in January, up 21.6% on the year, showed customs data released on February 22 (2018)"

Thailand imported 515,870 tonnes of bituminous coal in January 2018, most of which came from Australia and Indonesia.

so so sadly true

Just another example of an extremely incompetent fool, demonstrating that lack of ability, on a daily basis. What does he even mean? Does he even know what an energy policy looks like? Has this little man ever even contemplated the support of the alternative energy sectors? Why does he think any of his ministers are competent, when they were all appointed as cronies, and not based on merit?
