Sustainability's the key about power
The current goal of Bangladesh is to become a middle-income country within 2020. To achieve this goal, we need to focus on sector-wise development. Power sector should be given highest priority among all other sectors not just because it fuels the massive industrial development but because there is huge demand for electricity among the growing number of population. From this perspective, project like Rampal power plant should be considered a blessing. But this project will damage our environment and biodiversity. The project directly contradicts with sustainable water security, universal clean energy, healthy and productive ecosystems etc. So the government should follow sustainable mechanism to solve the paradox in case of establishing Rampal power plant.
