Green Revolution: How China, UK & Indonesia Are Investing In A Greener Future | CNA Correspondent

The COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted many traditional industries but it has not stopped a greener future from taking shape and countries are positioning themselves for the new growth opportunities.

In China, the government and private companies are revving up a push to deploy driverless vehicles on its roads - with a growing number of trials taking place in the country, including in its capital Beijing. In Indonesia, the government of President Joko Widodo has identified electric vehicles as a key industry that will jump-start the country’s ambitions of becoming a developed nation in the next 25 years. While in the UK, a small county that’s been plagued by high unemployment is pinning its hopes on a new energy initiative to turn its fortunes around.

Indonesia Foreign Minister Marsudi told Tony Blinken during a ASEAN-US meeting that “the strong partnership between Indonesia and the U.S. will be a key asset for your increasing engagement in the region. And the U.S. is one of the important partners for ASEAN in the implementation of ASEAN outlook from the Indo-Pacific.”

I spent the best eight months of my life working in Indonesia (not necessarily at work) - I'm glad to see that there are some bright minds there too.
(The traffic and the pollution were a nightmare ...)

Everything is improving, battery availabilities, prices, etc. But our pace for these energy conversion thing is too slow. We need to remember how long did we humans moved from steam engine and its energy.

[dhana]

Indonesia : well... we slow, but we still will go to that absolute green energy....
next 10+ year, we will have first commercial nuclear power plant...


but now...

learning from other country

so when we start, we hope nothing will goes wrong like on past...
atleast my country make a step ahead even that just only one step

The pace of China is really too fast. . .

[mpotane]

What about the electric jeepney and flying cars in the Philippines?

[metalextras]

EV will never be a solution to Indonesia's air pollution, but stopping forest fire and proper landfill management did.
Indonesia's air pollution happens when Plantation, nearby forest and landfills were burned for cheap clearing...

[softnixai-hara]

Hydrogen fuel is not a green option. The best option to fully go green is to use renewable energy. One of the best system Integration to achieve this is the one's like tesla with solar city.

[harukrentz]

It will mount to nothing if we still cant invent battery strong enough to last 24 hours without charging and affordable enough for average joe's to buy. all those fancy windfills need storage to store their power.

[didierdido]

Cant wait to ride a fake/copy of those driverless cabs 😂😂😂😂

[johnslugger]

Replacing Asian drivers with machines can ONLY be a good thing!
