– We have more than 100 megabytes of alternative energy and work has begun, 33 megabytes of which have been put into service.

-The reason behind shortage in the petroleum products is the US occupation which loots the production of Syrian wells of oiland gas in Al-Jazeera.

– Decree 32 allowed the transfer and distribution of electricity generated from solar energy.
