Is 'promising energy' an acceptable term here?

We Answered:

Renewable energy is a promising resource for Malaysia. It can be used to reduce the heavy dependence of this country on oil.

.....you cannot use 'renewable' on its own as you have done...it must be 'renewable resource' or 'renewable energy source' something like that.

What is the potential for Alternative Energy in Malaysia? (biomass/fuel, solar, nuclear, wind, water)?

We Answered:

The potential is high for all. One question at a time.

low exploitation? high cost of alternatives
Unclear direction for biofuel? Undeveloped market with no infrastructure in place.
Nuclear? It was a policy choice and they received outside development funds to go nuclear.
Solar not used? High cost, no infrastructure.
Natural barriers? High cost.
Socio-economic interest? Low cost methods tend to win out.
Go to alternatives in the future? Yes, as the cost of those drops and the cost of existing technology goes up.
Enough hydro? If there are opportunities for more, maybe more hydro.
