Luis Arthur, a specialist in alternative energy sources, told a national television audience that the government must start to use solar and wind-powered energy as the most effective way of confronting rising petroleum prices. Arthur, an electrical engineer with extensive experience in the energy field, has been writing on energy related themes for years. He pointed out that within 30 or 40 years, and perhaps sooner, there will be an oil crisis that the government will not be able to solve with money. He said that the Dominican Republic enjoys a privileged position in that it has a potential of 10,000 megawatts of wind powered energy and as much as 30,000 megawatts of solar energy available for exploitation. The country's current energy needs are approximately 2500 megawatts. Arthur also advocated the use of sugar cane for ethanol and palm oil for biodiesel.
