For the nth time; please understand that Thar coal is brown coal or Lignite, lowest grade of coal. If this could solve our energy problems, why do you think we import 2-million tons of coal every year to meet Steel and Cement Industry demand? And why are we wiling to invest in $7-billion IPI gas pipeline?
Thar coal needs huge investment and the result would only be good for use in power generation and not good enough to replace good quality bituminous coal or anthracite for use in cement and steel industries. We have quantity but not quality. Thar coal can help in meeting power shortage but will not solve Pakistans energy problem.
I guess I was paying more attention to the quantity of Thar coal and not the quality. Well 185 billion in Thar region is a huge amount, I'm sure Pakistan can make some good use out of it.
By the way, I agree with you that education should be given to every Pakistani...many people in Pakistan are very intelligent and hard working..they can bring the country ahead if they are given the opportunity. I hope people in Pakistan can conquer their dreams for their nation. I hope Pakistan becomes a successful and wealthy nation soon, Pakistanis have suffered enough throughout history its time the people of Pakistan now enjoy.
