It took some time today. In two long articles, Reuters talk about the future of energy in China, and India's Vice President of the draft speech at the conference are all for energy. Both, the issue of energy efficiency and economic growth, and the amount of energy to the problem have a common point.
Reuters coverage of China starts that Beijing suburb east ring road 5 line from the story of the Sinopec gas station has begun. The gas station is unable to supply gasoline to the truck in the raw, and saying go somewhere another. Trucks say, we do not go anywhere, because we can not move without gasoline. At the end of the article, the recent drastic increase in the wholesale of diesel per liter up 5.29 yuan to 6.23 yuan. Then, Sinopec stand has a shorter raw of trucks, because of the impact of energy policy, it is said.
China is blessed with natural resources is likely, if per capita it is not. China’s coal is the world's third largest reserve, and, in 2007, the China)s production was accounted for 40 percent of the world. However, if used as it does, coal would be disappearing in 80 years, oil in 15 years, and natural gas in 30 years. China’s energy consumption per GDP is three time an eight times of the United States and Japan. That has been we are paying attention.
The Chinese government has a plan the current energy per 10,000 yuan GDP, equivalent to about 1,460 dollars , to be go down to a 20 percent cut in 2010. That means , in 2005, TCE was the equivalent of 1.22 tons of coal and will be 0.98 tons in 2010. In the 11th Five-Year Energy Development Plan, for 2005-2010, the growth of energy consumption reduced to 3.5 percent and, energy consumption in 2010 will be to 2,446,000,000 tons of coal equivalent.
Vice-President of India has touched on this point, but it is not match with our sense. According to him, Indian to earn a dollar GDP1 with 0.16kg of oil equivalent using electricity, China's response 0.23kg, the United States 0.22kg, and the world's average of 0.21kg. The loss of power problem, it is important for India. It is now 36 percent loss in India and it is worse than the world average of 28 percent.
Both of the two articles have, on renewable energy, a lot of character. Both the development of hydropower is considered as a major pillar of renewable energy. China's nuclear power is also still planning on going to be room for expansion. Both have a point of how to curb coal-fired to be saved. It is going to say with a common point.
For bio-fuels, Vice President of India has an important point. First, solar and bio-fuel dependence on the land, his saying “land intensity”, are his concern. For example, cover with solar power in Japan and 250 million people are said to be sacrificed. Shikoku Island in Japan is comparable to the population and land on this point. Also, for a scattered collection of bio-fuels, Google saying is that the intelligence network of transmission lines is required and it may be a
revolution.

Accelerating India’s nuclear development
I was playing a baseball at the junior high school students. I missed passing the ball and watch the front of a grounder for stones hit, and the embarrassed explanation. Yesterday's prime minister, Taro Aso, is responsible for the economic slump, the shy, it's because of the United States, and had an excuse. The U.S. Senate on bill deliberative discussions between the finance and twist one, and the U.S. sign a nuclear cooperation agreement, approved by 86 to 13, and ratification was established.
As a result, on October 10, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice come to New Delhi to stand down, for the stage of signing the agreement. President Bush has promised that flowed from the fourth of the year. According India's Economic Times newspaper today, the Indian Chamber of Commerce Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) asked for the government to the next step forward and encourage the Indian companies. They are ready to accept help.
India has the plan, for the next 25 years, 60,000 MW of nuclear power development, expected cost of 1,000 billion dollars. The government has set 10 nuclear power stations at a particular point. India has more than a plan than China has for nuclear development program. China is planning 4 percent in 2030. Nuclear industry, even more than China and India vie for entry into the world.
Standing as a partner in a local company, National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC), Reliance Energy, Tata Power, Larsen and Toubro, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, and the overseas companies are in the starting line, General Electric, Westinghouse, Areva, Atomstroy and so on. Japanese companiesworry that, even though the Japanese government agreed to supply the efforts of a group of nations, they are hampered by the lack of agreement between contries.
But the clear trend in the industry and the nuclear power industry, will lead a group of three; the United States Westing house and Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and French AREBA, Hitachi and the U.S. GE. In the building a larger flow, Toshiba has a partnership with Larsen and Toubro of India. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has actual records, in the state of Texas in 2007 based on 1,700 MW 2 units, pressurized-type light-water reactor, at the latest with the momentum. Such a framework, which like India to work in?
However, before the U.S. signs the agreement, India has been in Russia's nuclear cooperation. With the Indian side of the U.S. signs agreement, also, India get Russia signed a military agreement. Thus, India is in a neutral stance of international in keeping with the stick. Even the Prime Minister Singh has done to assess the efforts of the ruling party, the opposition parties have accused saying that it is surrender to the United States. In world opinion, Israel and Pakistan, Iran and North Korea in the future what will become of the Public opinion. Japan, who has experience of the atomic bombing, has several opinions. Those are the challenge that is you need to know.

Tibetan Plateau water source for continent
Indian professor has given his view with a long article to the Japan Times. The Professor, a head of the world water institute in Delhi, described in this article, by beginning with the tenacity of China's water content to be focused on tight. "The battles of yesterday were fought over land. Those of today are over energy. But the battles of tomorrow will be over water. ", the professor gave a serious expression in short writing.
We see at the world that Asia is rich in water. The Middle Eastern countries are visiting Cambodia to secure lands for agriculture because of uncertainty for their food security in the future. I know that tunnels of trees in roads like in South Asia could not see, because these phenomena can happen only rainfall more than 2000mm per annum.
But, the professor is explaining that water resources for drinking water are very small. Two-thirds of the earth is water, but, the water without salt is only 2.5 percent, and, if excluding the Antarctic and Arctic ice, it will be decreased to 1 percent. He had a conversation on the seriousness of water problems in China saying that China's Tibetan Plateau Water is irreplaceable.
President Hu Jintao, in 1989, implemented the martial law to maintain the movement of Tibet, and Premier Wen Jiabao said, " Water scarcity, threatens the very survival of the Chinese nation." The problem of water shortage is thanatobiologic shedding of China, the word originated. The more ominous words, the Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng, in the words of the "To fight for every drop of water or die, that is the challenge facing China.", Said. Tibet, in the vast area of the glaciers and underground water, has enormous water resources.
Professor emphasized that the characteristics of the water resources of Tibet is not content but with the altitude 5,000 m above sea level, and this means immense value. Literally, if possible gravity irrigation in agriculture as in Japan, but in India, irrigation pumps to increase the capacity of this preferential electricity rates for agriculture due to the power sector in India is poor. Japan's power to favor agriculture, but fewer pumps, is not a problem.
The Tibetan Plateau, because of the amount, and due to the height, are so dominant in the Asian continent's major rivers. In particular, India's Brahmaputra River and the Indus River is thoroughly dependent to Tibet. China, in Brahmaputra River at Gorge's famous "flex point of a large Great Bend", has a plan to build a dam. And, this point is in China's territory just before reaching the border with India. Beijing can get water with gravity alone to carry the water.
He has, not just Tibet China trying to attack, but said the role of the International Rivers Institution. This happens in major international rivers to the inclusion of some international institutions is needed, has said. The requirements of the institutions are to ensure transparency and information sharing, prevention of river pollution, and prevention of diversion of the river basin to the outside, he said. Mekong River Commission, in the absence of China, is not fully functional.

Renewable Energy Bill in Philippines
The August 26 article reported that the Department of Energy has implemented the rule of bio-fuel, which is mandatory usage of coconut methyl for gasoline in the car for more than 2 percents. It is enacted on October 2008 and, by February 2009, to be full implementation. Is it really possible? ASEAN countries, are watching closely for breath. In Indonesia, oil production is beginning to decline. According September 28 article, Indonesia’s ministerial order of the Department of Energy has implemented the rule that a 5 percents of bio-fuel should be used for fuel of power plants and so on. The full scale of the mandatory rule shall be effective from January 2009.
The Philippines’ senate passed the Renewable Energy Bill. This might come from ASEAN agreement. In the Senate, Senators Edgardo J. Angara and Juan Miguel Zubiri is the heart for the bill. They are saying, within five years, the market will be 10 billion dollars scale. Oil saving may reach to 36 billion pesos.
NEDO has been describing that, in the end of January, the 15th ASEAN Summit held in Cebu has agreed on "Energy Security in East Asia Declaration (Alternative Energy Agreement)". The Philippines suggested , at that time, four points for energy; efficiency of fossil fuel, hydro and other renewable, bio-fuels and the globalization of markets.
I believe that the Philippines is in a dilemma, I think. The nationals are complaining the most expensive electricity prices in neighboring countries, but as a country poor in natural resources, high electricity prices will require the development of renewable energy, namely, using domestic resource as much as possible. I have confidence in the international market, while imports of coal and coal-fired by the expansion of the electricity, at least, for 10 years.
