The sentence above is a bit difficult to understand for me. This has proved that I need to learn English more. Anyway, I guess the meaning of the sentence above is when you enjoy the day, you can sleep, work and also play a little bit. However, make the use of the day optimally is the challenge. Optimizing or tuning the system so that it uses energy more efficiently is a challenge. I am on the opinion that optimizing the energy system in Indonesia, especially, faces very big challenges. The challenges are not just technical but also non-technical.
Non technical challenges in optimizing energy systems for example are: regulatory framework and also the mindset of the people. Mindset of the people, especially the policy makers, would certainly affect the resulted policies. Policy makers can easily be affected by interests either personal interests or other interests. If the good for the greater is not in the list of interests then the policy will fail. I guess the failing of Indonesia's system is done more systematic now. People who understand laws and regulations bend and create new laws/regulations so that those laws/regulations can support their short term objective (most probably group interest or personal interest). For example fuel price. Government, especially the president, wants to be reelected and for that he/she did not reduce the subsidy for fuel price, instead keeping the subsidy that makes state financial condition get worse (at least higher debt is the sign).
So, I guess politics should be put far away from energy issues. Although it seems impossible (maybe one big example of this is the raid to Iraq), but let's hope that in the future it certainly will be possible. It's all depending on the young generation now. Let's educate them and create greener generations.
