Sun running the Cells | The Pakistani Spectator

I read this well researched and thought out article on the often not so authentic TPS today and found it to be very informative.  the writer has been very elaborate.

Telecommunication industry is developing very fast in our country.  For a strong and stable telecommunication industry a constant and stable supply of electricity is essential.  In the backdrop of current supply shortages we must look into alternate sources of energy.  Given the extensive tower infrastructure of the telecommunication companies all over Pakistan it is easier and more feasible for them to use solar energy for generating electricity for meeting their local infrastructure needs.  This will help them in two ways.  It will reduce their dependability on more expensive and polluting sources for the same energy and will also reduce the operational costs of the units in the long run.

It is also important for the same industry to explore this avenue because they have money to spare and thus money to spend unlike most of the industries in Pakistan.  Once they start using this source of energy it will result in bringing down the costs of installing solar panels in general and will help other sectors to follow suit.  In every situation it is a win win situation.  I think I have mentioned in one of my earlier posts on this blog that to meet all the energy requirements of our country from solar energy we need a solar plant of the are of about 39 square miles.  Obviously it can not be done as a single installation but if stand alone smaller units are invested into the cost of such an operation will be much less and also infrastructure would be more stable and reliable.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

The Hajj Tragedy Replayed

   This year again as for the past 6 years or so hujjaj have died in massive numbers while performing the ritual at Minaa . From what the state television is telling us here in Pakistan the number of dead is as high as 345 souls. Most of them are reported to be from south east Asia. Every year a variable but significantly large number of hujjaj die while performing the hajj . It is undoubtedly the largest gathering of souls on the planet earth. This time around as many as 25 million Muslims from all over the world performed the hajj . This is a large number and the figure of the dead can easily be taken for a small negligible percentage which is bound to occur in any such event with so many people from different social setups and languages gather and are bound by very tight schedules. But this certainly can't be allowed in a religion that is based on harmony, peace, value for human life and most of all discipline.    Most certainly the Saudi author...
