Modern Diplomacy: Naghlu Hydropower Plant (NHPP), Afghanistan’s largest hydropower plant, has restarted operations of one of its four turbines after being nonfunctional since 2012, providing electricity for thousands in the three provinces of Kabul, Kapisa, and Nangarhar. The rehabilitation of the NHPP is considered a great achievement in the development of Afghanistan’s hydropower infrastructure. Click here to read more (external link).
So; where is the good news ?????
.
That hydro-power plant was was built long long time ago- probably early 60’s.
It was heavily damaged after the grand invasion of 2001.
No due credit, for the rebuilt !

DEAR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS:
~~~~~
~~~~~
*Afghanistan, on global scale, is one of the richest counteries, in terms of possible production of electrical energy through various available resources in the country.
.
Proper energy utilization is the key to a prosperous Afghanistan- just like anywhere else.
===============================
~~~~~
THERE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES ALL ACROSS much of AFGHANISTAN TO UTILIZE VARIOUS FORMS OF ENERGY SOURCES FOR
ELECTRICAL ENERGY PRODUCTION
==============================
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~
*HERE ARE;
JUST TO
MENTION
A FEW:
================================
===============================•
~~~~~
Hydro-electrical energies from all the major rivers that originate from snow-melts of high glaciated mountains and rainfalls in Afghanistan.
===============================•
~~~~~
THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR THE EXPLOITATIONS OF SOLAR ENERGY FROM VAST DESERT AREAS OF AFGHANISTAN.
IT COULD BE EASILY AND CLEANLY HARNESSED THROUGH CONVERSION TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
==============================
~~~~~
DUE TO NUMEROUS LOCATIONS OF HIGH MOUNTAIN RANGES WITH ECTREMELY HIGH WIND BLOCKADES; THERE ARE ALSO GREAT OPPOTUNIES FOR UTILIZATION OF IMMEASURABLE AMOUNT OF WIND ENERGY; WHICH IS also EXTREMELY EASY TO CONVERT INTO ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
================================
~~~~~
YOU COULD ALSO USE FOSSIL-BASED ENERGY SOURCES TO BURN INTO GENERATION FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY-
IT IS A POLLUTAING SOURCE THOUGH; BUT, THERE ARE PLENTY WAYS TO SAFELY EXPLOIT THIS ENERGY SOURCE AS WELL WITH PROPER NAINTAINANCE AND PRECAUTION FOR BADLY-NEEDED PRACTICAL PURPOSES.; ALBEIT, WITH LIMITED USAGE.
================================
~~~~~
FOSSIL-BASED ENERGY SOURCES TO BURN INTO GENERATION FOR ELECTRICAL AND HEAT ENERGIES – they are coming from materials such; as coal, gas, or oil that is burned to produce heat or power. As you might know; they are found in several parts of Afghanistan.
IT IS A POLLUTAING SOURCE THOUGH; BUT, THERE ARE PLENTY WAYS TO SAFELY EXPLOIT THOSE ENERGY SOURCES AS WELL WITH PROPER NAINTAINANCE AND PRECAUTION FOR BADLY-NEEDED PRACTICAL INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES.; ALBEIT, WITH LIMITED USAGE.
THERE ARE ALSO SOME POSSIBILITIES FOR USING GEOTHERMAL SOURCES OF ENERGY FROM NUMEROUS HOT SPRINGS AND UNDERGROUND SOURCES ACROSS HIGH MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS- OBVIOUDLY; THIS SOURCE IS HIGHLY LIMITED FOR USAGE DUE TO LACK OF COMPLEX TECHNOLOGY AND INFRASTRUCTURES TO DEVELOP SUCH KINDS OF SAFE ENERGY SOURCES.
THOUGH, IT HOLDS A GREAT PROMISE FUTURE USAGE IN AFGHANISTAN.
Afghanistan might hold the largest deposits of lithium-bearing minerals in the world- the most popular of those mineral varieties are tourmaline, spodumene, lepidolite and some others
.
They are abundantgv found in a long stretch of landforms along the tectonic zones of
Euro-Asian and Indian plate. The deposits zcross run through a long stretch across northern parts of Laghman, Koahnur, and Noristan provinces of Afghanistan.
lithium is used as electrode and electrolyte material in lithium disposable batteries and in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. It is an essential part of modern energy storage systems- and obviously with great possible promise to efficiently-utilized energy for arrays of modern electronic equipments.
*The reason I know about those deposits is that I have been dealing periodically with some of those minerals for a long time now and know exactly where they are coming from.
I did some research on their chemical compositions; but, not enough to get rich off. I deal with many variety of minerals from many various countries.
.
The Afghan locals work out the mining processes and they are the ones who determine the final prices for the specimen minerals, rough, polished, cut and so on. The foreign jcutters and jewelry manufacturers are the ones who could possibly enrich themselves through labor works on the stones; proper international business channels and pure hard work- in most cases, anyway.

WELL; I HAVE NOT MENTIONED YET THE POSSIBILITY FOR GREATEST USAGE FOR NUCLEAR ENERGY THAT COULD EASILY DWARF ALL OTHERS COMBINED.
HEAT ENERGY FROM SPLITTING URANIUM ATOMS IS USED TO CONVERT WATER INTO STEAM THAT THEN MADE TO TURN TURBINES FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION.
URANIUM IS RATHER A COMMON ELEMENT, COMPARABLE TO ELEMENTS; SUCH AS, SILVER- IT IS LARGELY FOUND IN DEPOSITS WITH RARE EARGH MINERALS. WHICH THEN COULD BE EXTRACTED AS BYPRODUCT.
*
*
THE INDUSTRIAL EXTRACTIONS OF NUCLEAR HEAT ENERGY, (WHICH IS MOSTLY GENERATED AS BYPRODUCT OF FISSION PROCESSES; (LIKE SPLITTING URANIUM ATOMS), ARE RATHER COMPLICATED AND COULD POSSIBLY TURN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, (AS HARMFUL RADIOACTIVE WASTE PRODUCTS), IF IT IS NOT MANAGED PROPERLY- ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS THE MOST ABUNDANT SOURCE OF CLEAN ENERGY IF UTILIZED “PEACEFULLY” AND ONLY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CIVILIZED FOLKS ACROSS THE WORLD.

HUGE RARE EARTH DEPOSITS OCCUR ACROSS AFGHANISTAN-WHICH INCLUDE VAST VARIETY OF URANIUM-BEARING ROCKS AND MINERAL DEPOSITS.
THEY ARE SCATTERED ACROSS, IN A NUMBER OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PROVINCES (NAMELY; KANDAHAR, GHAZNI, HELMAND, FARAH AND HERAT).
