The Implications of Environmental Considerations in Energy Development to The General Economic Welfare and Development of Indonesia

摘要

As environmental considerations have to be incorporated into national energy planning, development countries must cope not only with reducing pollution, but also with solving more pressing issues which play a crucial role in their economic development processes : the alleviation of poverty; the control of population growth; the provision of adequate employment opportunities; the acquisition of food supplies; the satisfaction of energy requirements and other basic needs; and, the improvement of the quality of their human resources. Developing nations are faced with a major question : with those more basic and pressing problems, how will the developing countries cope with the emerging environmental problems? In particular, what are the implications of various energy strategy options to the general economic welfare and development of developing countries?
