Mindanao - Renewable Energy sources for Climate Change

The World Wild Fund for Nature - International Energy Policy Coordinator Rafael Senga says that the government should focus on investing indigenous renewable sources of energy.

Renewable energy is important in obtaining energy security and economic stability and at the same time mitigates effects of climate change.

Mindanao should increase its use of renewable energy to ease the power supply shortage, which is the main cause of the rotating brownouts on the island.

WWF pointed out that the diverse types of power source from renewable sources will serve as a buffer from the adverse effects of climate change and the volatility of international fossil fuel prices. It further says that among the Asian counties the Philippines is one who has the highest rates of power source.

Clean energy is very important for the Philippines and on the island of Mindanao. Renewable sources will decrease the countries emission of  harmful gases in the atmosphere, aside from its clean its also cheap. cheap sources is equally important as we face the unpredictable changes of climate.
