Default Now Gas Shortage?

Now Gas Shortage?

I want to share my knowledge with all that how is possible regarding Gas shortage is going to become yet another weapon to destroy this city ( Karachi ).

Perhaps Gas shortage designed to destroy the economic and livelihood. Working as anti elements to destroy our country economy.

One can’t steal GAS that reasons shortage is not possible but ELECTRICITY is commonly stealing by consumers by Ill-legal connection ( khunda Connections ) in this regard KESC higher management always remain silent and never interested to catch those who are using ill-legal connection making Millions Rupees of revenue losses on return their black sheep staff get some benefits but on other hand KESC faces huge losses.

In short our country Pakistan have full of resources and blessing from God but still after 63 years we always look ahead to WB ( World Bank ) IMF or USA or Europe Countries to get grant or aid, but never sincere or interested to use own country people talent but hiring foreign consultant and paying their desire fees which totally axing our country economy.


Thanking You.

After all these things you are getting the natural gas at cheapest rate in the world. Even the commerial rate and by product cost as a fuel (CNG) is at Lowest.! think about it!

Correct me if I a wrong but isnt natural gas one of Pakistans natural resources? Dont we have like umpteen thousand kilos of gas reserves in our country?

Dont citizens from the oil producing nations receive subsidized oil and even then the cost is peanuts compared to the set price for oil.

Likewise it would be only fair that, since we own it, it should be supplied to us at as low a price as possible. It is not a luxury item afterall!

Disgusting to say the least, that we should even consider being charged high prices for bare necessities that our country already has stockpiles of.

let me share some information here Natural gas - proved reserves: 840.2 billion cu m (1 January 2011 est.). theirs nothing like umpteen reserves and if there are potential reserve reserve their is a cost for discovering and mining.
don't you think we are getting subsidized price!. We are..!
We only have natural gas in stockpiles correct me if their any other!
Another thing we Pakistanis always neglecting while criticizing our authorities that Governments should have to earn through taxes to facilitate people. Tell me how many things are in regulation and registered for being taxed??

Think about it!

Yes, we're blessed with carbon hydrates and natural gas but we're running out of stock; at current production rate, Pakistan will run out of natural gas within 12-15 years unless new sites are developed. Surveys have indicated that Pakistan could be home to another 10-20 trillion cubic meter of natural gas reserves, enough to see us through to the next century.

Yes, energy is heavily subsidized in Pakistan and openly criticized by IMF. I personally am against subsidies, its a heavy burden for our economy.

I agree that basic facilities should be within the financial reach of the common or even poor man but it doesn't mean we should hand out everything free of charge or on heavy subsidy. You will agree how much water and energy is wasted in Pakistan as people simply don't care about effective management. Imagine how careless households will become if energy becomes cheaper..?

Let me get this straight.......Are you trying to say that 'increasing prices sky high' in the present time is the feasible solution to the fact that we did not observe practical checks and measures over our stock piles in the past?

Burden on the economy? As compared to the burden on ...

a- the environment (encouraging subsidized energy can reduce pressure on forests in poor rural areas of developing countries otherwise dependent on firewood/)

b- the atmosphere (lesser air pollution than from traditional biomass fuels, such as wood, straw,crop residues and dung)

c - here it comes ..........the economy (with an increase in natrual gas people are deemed to consider cheaper options, nearest to the top of the list Nuclear Power - nuclear power production results in radioactive waste and the small but nonetheless real risk of contamination from accidental releases of radioactive substances. The significant burden lies on the economy when it comes to getting rid of nuclear waste)

this could go on......

And you honestly think a poor man in Pakistan was getting it free until a few years ago???

Now I dont know about you but I find it difficult to comprehend how a sane non-suicidal person can waste combustible gas?......yes you can leave the tap on when it comes to water could you do the same to gas? *Boom*

Jokes aside there will always be some who will chose to abuse whatever comes cheap to them. But why is it that a poor man has to pay the price when the rich will waste no matter what?
