cambodia wants more electricity. certain suitable areas of the country should have the dams build while other areas cannot. stop complaining about it, cambodia can use more electricity just like other developed countries too, you know. what other alternative to electricity product can one think of for cambodia? why just point finger and whine and complain about what cambodia want to do, why not help find electricity solution for cambodia. don't tell me you like see eletricity shortage or outage or blackout in phnom penh or other provincial cities of cambodia. cambodia don't want that anymore, you know.

We should adopt a new technology called the 'solar grid' e.g. people can install them on top of their roof, and you can buy out right for e.g $2000 and then, you can use them for the rest of you life free of charge from there. Sometimes, e,g the gov't would buy e,g like, for $1000 but they can install them for the people and collect double the price like, let say paying it off in 4 years. e,g $2000 divided by 96 months (4 years) worked out to be Aprox $23 per month after 4 years, that is it. people will own them out right. In this way, both gov't and people make good money out of it and save, save and save.

From here, no need foreigners to interfere in our homeland (as private property), and also avoid from being sobataged by them as well. The truth is, we really don't know what their plans are really. Maybe to swapt or drown us when the right time comes and make it looks like natural disaster or something, I mean who knows, since they are outsiders, they would never want what is best for us but to help to destroy or kill us instead, because they did it before and off course they will do it again and again for sure.

america, japan, the eu all have unlimited supplies of electricity in their countries, how did they do it? why can't they help cambodia to create the same unlimited supply of electricity in cambodia? and the same question too for modern sanitation like clean water supplies, the city sewage network, etc, i'm sure cambodia can learn from america, the eu, japan, etc about these concepts that's already in existence elsewhere, you know. don't be biased and stop denying cambodia these developments, come bring modern technology for my country cambodia, ok!
