Find a solution to load shedding, what the hell are you on? Solution to load shedding is to set up more power plants, a 6 year old knows that, but that requires money and money is something Pakistan does not have.
Your ignorance of what physicists learn or do is embarrassing. What exactly do you mean when you say 'solution to our energy needs'? Is it some complicated problem? No. It's a simple case of there not being enough energy generation capacity and the solution is to add more. That is not a physicist's job, it's a policy maker's job or in societies more civilized than Pakistan, the private sector would see a demand in the market for energy and fill the void, thereby reducing the deficit and providing a boost to the economy through creating more jobs.
I normally wouldn't dignify the 'nuclear reactor' rubbish you posted with a response but given the sheer level of stupidity on display here, I see it as a duty to intervene. No scientist in the world can design a nuclear reactor on his own. You need several billion dollars in research funding and a team of several thousand scientists and engineers of the highest caliber, something Pakistan does not possess. China has an $8 trillion economy, spends $197B on research and development per year(that's roughly the same as the size of the entire Pakistani economy), the universities in several individual Chinese cities produce more world class engineers and scientists in one year than all of Pakistan does in a decade and even they haven't yet been able to design a nuclear reactor rated at more than 300MW(tiny by nuke power plant standards) without outside help.
Your last point, 'this is what scientists and engineers from other countries do, not become analysts and delve into politics and talk shows' is so far off the mark it's not even funny. Scientists and engineers worldwide do just about everything from financial risk analysis to designing transistors smaller than a grain of sand. People like Hoodbhoy generally develop the intellectual capital of nations by rendering their services to the nation's educational institutions, the greatest service a scientist(more so than engineers, who tend to have more hands on jobs as opposed to the more theoretical nature of a scientist's work) can render to his nation is to provide it with well trained scientists while exploring his field of expertise to add to the nation's scientific base.
A man with Hoodbhoy's credentials could easily have gone to the US or just about any of the world's most prosperous countries and taught at any number of the world's finest institutes of higher learning or earn a 7 digit salary(in USD, not our joke of a currency) heading research and develop for any one of several organizations with annual revenues greater than Pakistan's entire GDP but he chose to serve his nation by teaching at places like LUMS and Qaid e Azam University(a place that naturally provides an extremely hostile environment for an open minded person like Hoodbhoy), until he was forced out of LUMS after it's takeover by tableeghi jamaat was complete(it was already starting when I started there in '06 and the signs were obvious even then) and he still went back to QeA-U. To question his motives for indulging in social commentary are ridiculous. He is without question the most accomplished Pakistani scientist alive today and second only to Abdus Salam, a noble laureate in Physics and another victim of Pakistani religious chauvinism, in the nation's history. If anything, it's his civic duty to speak out over the state of affairs in a country where education and science are under attack from a belligerent clergy and their followers who combined number more than the populations of many medium sized countries.
thomas edison never had piece of paper but invented many things
james dyson never had a piece of paper but invented the bagless vacuum
my cousin went to umist and did bsc in electrical engineering and has worked all his life for national grid as an engineer on the field, this was back in 1992.
basically my cousin can back his degree with practical experience in fixing things , its just not a piece of paper.
but either way its a degree in electrical engineering, something pervez hoodbhoy has done now.
but pervez hoodbhoy looks to me a guy who is practically zero like most of these paray likay jahils in pakistan, point being he would struggle to change a light bulb, or even know how to mop a floor properly something u don't need a piece of paper telling u can do it.
Where will you get the resources?I had a class on nuclear energy today.Building nuclear reactor is very expensive.How will you handle and dispose off the radioisotopes(Nuclear waste) such as krypton-85 that has a half life of 10 years and Cesium-137 that has a half life of about 30 years?The treatment of waste is very expensive.How will you get Uranium-235 which is extremely rare and is used as the fuel in a nuclear plant.
The problem is that we do not have capital.
pakistan already has nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are being built by chinese in pakistan.
only difference the paray likhay jahil of china are doing something practical and doing the work
whilst our paray likhay jahils like hoodbhoy is too busy on tv, one aq khan is involved in politics, the mubarakmand endorsed the water car fiasco of another para likhiya jahil engineer.
mit graduate is in usa custody know as afia siddiqui although that was not her fault but fault of pariya likhiya commando of sandhurt compare busharraf to kgb judo black belt putin.
and another pari likhi jahil from lums hina rabbani khar did great job as foreign minister.
so whats the point i'm trying to make these degrees are all worthless piece of paper because neither of these paray likhay jahils are competent or professional like their counterparts in other countries.
these paray likhay jahils of pakistan are all hot air, practically speaking they are zero.
even bin laden has civil engineering degree he backed it up by building a cave tunnel system from fata to kabul.
and also a cave system in tora bora.
bin laden actually drove a bulldozer
