Political Explosion

It is said and has been confirmed that Colombia is a country extensively rich in natural resources to make the most of and thus be able to provide quality of life to its inhabitants, also, that it is a diversified country in terms of cultures, each of them do something prosperous from mother earth, that is, each culture is grateful for the resources that were blessed and it is a privilege for them to have so much natural gain at the same time. For this reason, it is feasible to think that, if nature has given us so much, why pay it so badly by misusing it or, failing that, damaging it by doing practices that are so rich for numbers, but not so good for the health of Colombian soil.

 

The practice of continuing to excavate and exploit the soil to obtain oil has resulted in the damage of the soil and, above all, of the country's bodies of water, something as important as the water that does us so much good and that today due to the climate change we are lacking. Although, as I said before, for the counterpart, it is an opportunity to grow numbers and more numbers in the country's economy, and on that success, the ups and downs in the price of said energy material also depend on the stock exchanges in the world.

 

Today in Colombia, 70 percent of the energy generated comes from hydroelectric plants (produced in reservoirs). However, this percentage is affected by climatic phenomena that end up causing long periods of drought and by the negative effects of damming large rivers, so depending on this source has become a national risk (Revista Portafolio, 2016 ).

 

For this reason, it has become too important an issue to seek other alternatives for the supply of energy in the country, to speak of clean energy or renewable energy is to provide opportunities to continue preserving and conserving our natural resources, also to fix what man has damaged through constructions or practices that have only been harmful to nature.

 

Thanks to its location in the equatorial zone and having varied climates and ecosystems, Colombia has great potential to develop clean energy from water, wind, sun and biomass residues such as sugar cane, palm oil, rice and banana. For this reason, the country needs to speed up the regulation of renewable energy, not only because it has the natural resources to take advantage of it, but also to provide some relief to the climate change situation.

The implementation of other alternatives such as clean energy or renewable energy is an opportunity to improve our economy and be a better country, because we are betting on taking care of resources and knowing how to take advantage of them to enjoy them all the time, taking into account that they are for life and as they are used, they are renewed. It is a step forward, to demonstrate that there are other ways to generate well-being for us inhabitants.

 

For the reality of our country, today it must be essential to promote the creation of clean energy more and more, hopefully within the plans of the next governments this issue becomes essential to achieve beneficial results as a country.
