[Summary] => With dark forebodings of what the country faces unless drastic reforms are made soon, charter change looms as the constitutional way out of the dilemma. Gen. Fortunato Abat is patriotic and a good man but he must know that any seizure of power through extralegal means at this time, however well intentioned, is doomed to fail. As another columnist has said, we have gone through this before and it did not work. It did not work because good intentions do not necessarily translate to good government.

Two recent briefings I attended last week and this week give me hope that despite our current energy problem brought about by the Middle East war started by the United States and Israel, our country will move quickly and finally transition to more sustainable and renewable energy sources that rely on our abundant solar and wind power resources, hopefully ending our overdependence on imported crude oil from the Middle East and on the environmentally destructive use of coal to power our industries.
