It is an obvious fact that no one can live without clean air, clean water and clean environment; however, on a daily basis, we are making our air polluted, our water contaminated and our environment desecrated not only for ourselves, but for generation yet unborn. Therefore, President Obama public policy pronouncement should reawaken the quest for many African countries like Liberia that already have limited electricity supply to contemplate on investment in clean and renewable energy. It is not just a Western ideology or an American concept, but a global crisis that requires immediate resolution from the comity of nations.

Although, rich and powerful nations are polluting our air, our water and destroying our environment; notwithstanding we the people of this world and as Africans who have kept the environment in tight and nature sacred must muster the courage and begin the work to solve the energy challenges through our own imagination, creativity and culture while combating the wrongdoings of depleting the ozone layer.
