Whenever a country is economically developing, it always neglects environmental consequences. This is, of course, how Japan has developed as well.However, as the environmental issue is raised, some developing countries are hesitant to exploit their natural resources.
As the one of the least economically developed countries in South East Asia, Laos still shows rapid economic growth in a very sustainable way. Laos has about huge 20 hydroelectric dams; the abundant electricity supply will be a back born of the economy in South East Asia.
Laos harnesses 300,000 Kilowatts of electricity per year even though the domestic demand reaches only around 70,000 KWs. Therefore, the extra resource will be exported, solving the lack of electricity in those importing countries.
Laos is very different from many developing countries. Hydroelectric dams help Laos develop itself very sustainably and appropriately, which other countries have to follow.
