PostHeaderIcon Electrifying Singapore With New Forms Of Energy

Energy generation, that dull conversation stopper revolving around pipelines and power grids, has got sexy recently.

Run-of-the-mill engineers working in hot, dirty conditions are giving way to visionaries painting a picture of a cleaner and greener Singapore of smart meters, electric cars and renewable power, creating challenging new careers for young people.

And there’s someone leading the charge: Mr Lawrence Wong, the new chief of Singapore’s energy authority, is convinced that energy is the new hot topic of the town.

‘The tide is changing, and so are people’s perceptions,’ he says.   ’The younger generation, especially, are keen on cleaner forms of energy.

‘It’s not just in Singapore, but globally.   We’re caught by the tide of what’s happening on the international stage, with growing concern for the planet and climate change.   People are keen to do something.  ‘

It was the surge in this new thinking that convinced Mr Wong to take the helm at the Energy Market Authority (EMA) in January.   At 37 years old, the administrative service officer, who spent the previous three years as Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s principal private secretary, is one of the youngest people to head a statutory board.

The agency reflects the generational changes under way.   Once a low-profile organisation working to ensure that energy flows whenever someone flicks a switch, it is now expanding its role and vision, aptly summarised by ‘Smart Energy, Sustainable Future’.

This new vision acknowledges the fast-changing landscape, which has become more challenging and intertwined with climate change and sustainability.

‘We want to be the energy authority.   One that oversees a wide spectrum of energy issues, one that’s vocal and provides advice to the Government on policy issues,’ adds Mr Wong.

Small marine boat engines - Force or Mercruiser, in Bayliner Capri - which is better, and why?

I've never really been a boat owner, other than some '60's fiberglass derelict at one time, with no title. Anyway, looking at a friend's boat that could have either a Force or Mercruiser engine. Which is better, has less problems, etc.? Probably late '80's or very early '90's engine. I don't know much about the Force, I'd never heard of it before yesterday, I've heard of many other brands, but that one is new to me. Ease of repair, parts locating, etc. advice sought for both Force or Mercruiser in Bayliner Capri.


Force engine company was taken over by Merc years ago. They do not have a good reputation on the water, and I don't believe that they are still produced making it tougher to get parts etc. Merc on the other hand has been around a long time and will be around much longer. They make a good engine and parts are available all over. Go with Merc.
