· Energy is the most important and sought after commodity in the world. Billions of dollars are spent annually on the research and development of energy globally every year. Major wars of the modern history of mankind were fought for energy control.
· All types of energy are available in Pakistan; 16 hour full sun shines in 95% of the country all the year round, water flows from top north to bottom south, 800km windy shiny coastal belt, huge untapped and under discovered fossil fuel and pride of the nation nuclear self sufficiency are few to name.
· We have pitch dark nights and shiny days. We have four full seasons round the year. Hot summers, colorful green spring, cool chilly winters and clear autumn. At any one point in time, we have a variety of weather as we move from South to the North of the country. Aren’t we the lucky as a nation?
· Potential energy is possessed due to the height or position of an object. An excellent gradient of our geographical structure where in we have the 2nd highest mountain in the world to mean sea level. We have rivers which flow from the Northern mountainous region of the country all the way down to the Arabian Sea in the South. They irrigate most part of our country using one of the most extensive water irritation systems of the world. This supports the agriculture of the country all through its length. Aren’t we blessed? · We have all year snow covered mountains, lush green fertile plains, vast hot deserts, beautiful scenic coastline. Very less countries in the world has such a diversity of land. We have the most attractive tourists’ places, hospitable English speaking people, and most delicious range of cuisine in the world.
· Our labor men are hard working that never compromise on quality, they are skilled as well as committed. These men and women have made Pakistan one of the finest producers of sports good, leather products, electrical appliances, surgical tools and many more. · Our farmers are resolute who have earned us self sufficiency in food demands. We use only 25% of our cultivable land but still we are one of the biggest producers of sugar cane, wheat, potato, cotton and milk. Our 50% of the population works in the farms. We are self sufficient in our food unlike many other countries.
· We have vast orchards of Mango, Orange, Apple, Apricot and Date. We rank in top 10 of the producer of these fruits and many more. · We have huge reserves of coal, gold, copper, chromium and salt. We can be self sufficient in oil and gas as well but it only needs attention and investment.
· Our geographical location is another great gift from Almighty. On our west is the energy rich Middle East yearning to sell its gas and oil. While energy hungry 2 billion plus India, China are on our East and North. Their energy corridors through us will be cost effective for them as well as most beneficial for us. We must make use of it through friendly ties with them. · In short we have everything. All we need is the commitment, direction and hope. Pakistan is the best country of the world. Let’s take it to the top of the world. I am sure, we can do it.
