Right to invest in petroleum school

ALTHOUGH we may not agree with everything the government has planned for in the 2012 budget, we must applaud its foresight to invest in a new petroleum engineering school at the University of Technology.
From what I have been following, it is clear that we can do a lot more with our oil and gas onshore than to sell overseas as raw mate­rials.
We have thousands of science and technology gra­duates as well as those who are still in school.
We must invest in them and a petroleum en­gineering school is spot-on.
Whether we start small or big is not the issue as we must start somewhere.
I suggest money should also be pumped into harnessing renewable energy sources so that we do not deplete our oil and gas.
