126 INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW and more adapted to the respective country. More so, it is certain that the current energy policy of Trinidad and Tobago needs to include not what currently is, but what the future energy demands will be for certain. There are many arguments either supporting or against the potential for renewable energy. The size of a county or economy does not determine the importance of al- ternative and renewable energies. This is seen in the case of Spain, where the need to look for alternatives is because of the same exact principle other Caribbean coun- tries face: energy vulnerability. In both instances, there are obligations to the private and public sector to ensure policies are progressive and demonstrate versatility. The energy sector is dynamic and unquestionably fundamental to any economy in the current international political economy. It is important to recognize that the planning horizon to 2030 represents a transitional period in the evolution of the world’s energy sector. During this period the world will be developing alternative energy sources that will represent long-term solutions to the economic and environ- mental problems caused by fossil fuels (Wright 2007:). Other Caribbean countries have made and are making commendable progress to- wards achieving energy security. The rationale is simple, instead of remaining de- pendent on a product that is unpredictable in both supply and cost, rely on a product that is economically and financially prudent, environmentally friendly (or friend- lier) and provides greater security to the given economy. Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, Dominica and St. Kitts and Nevis have all, in their respective contexts, invested in the infrastructure that is essential for achieving the desired goals. The energy polices of these countries, as compared to Trinidad and Tobago, take note of the dormant potential in alternative and renewable energies while realizing that pragmatic evo- lution is fundamental to economic survival. The policies of Trinidad and Tobago necessitate a broader agenda and deeper scope. There must be greater inclusion by the public domain and local private sector to achieve maximum benefit. The current initiatives are acknowledged, despite the definite waning significance or importance in documents pertaining to energy poli- cies of the country. There is no other way to vehemently state that the government must invest in sound, sustainable alternative and renewable energy infrastructure to preserve the economy in future decades. There is no alternative.
