In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, Daubach (2019) highlighted the importance of “green energy production” in Southeast Asia (SEA) and the difficulties that will arise with the change. According to Daubach, Moniz who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures Initiative and Nuclear Threat Initiative states that each region in SEA must utilize different “low-carbon technologies and solutions” to reduce emissions. Moniz also mentioned that for SEA to achieve this, each country must think about its distinct difficulties and chances to improve. Singapore due to limitation in space is not able to adopt major wind and solar power generation but can adopt nuclear fusion. However, it is very costly. SEA needs to think about how it creates, keeps and uses the energy more effectively. It is vital that SEA reduces its dependence on coal for energy as continuous use will cause life-threatening occurrences to happen.
Daubach suggests nuclear energy as an alternative source of energy but fails to address the complications linked to using it.
