Draft 2 Summary clean Energy

In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?” Dabauch (2019) observed that Southeast Asia is slow in making progress in adopting clean energy due to challenges such as resources and population distributed unevenly over a large area. The region has vast potential for growth in renewable energy, which implementation can be accelerated by harvesting the renewable energy from abundant green sources. The switch to renewable energy requires a variety of clean technology and it is further challenged by economical obstacles and policies in the region. The article suggests that nuclear technology could provide solution to reduce pollution. In comparison to other regions, Southeast Asia is lagging behind in adapting clean energy even though many of its’ economy are driven by agricultural industry which is vulnerable to climate change. With millions exposed to the perils of climate change, businesses and policymakers in the ASEAN region can work together in this rapidly-expanding region to improve quality of life and combat climate change.

The article mentioned that Southeast is able to reduce carbon emission if it were to adopt green and nuclear technology. It states the disastrous effects of global warming on both the climate and the economy. However, it did not provide adequate information on how adopting clean energy is possible in the undeveloped parts of the region. Furthermore, it did not address the danger of nuclear technology which produces highly toxic by waste product.
