Mr. Yodchanan stressed the significance of solving current energy issues, which the Pheu Thai Party is expressing to the people to raise awareness of the potential consequences. MPs from each province discussed the impact on citizens, farmers, businesses, producers and contractors.

He indicated that the rising expenses have affected three things :

1.Housing

2.Insufficient gasoline distribution at gas stations

3.Rising prices due to higher manufacturing and transportation costs.

However, the Pheu Thai Party has proposed solutions which is Green Energy to reduce oil production and increasing the usage of renewable energy. This demands systemic changes in science and technology, as well as production, to be completed within four years. Furthermore, diversification of energy sources should be implemented through international assessment processes in conjunction with economic systems.

Finally, Mr. Yodchanan underlined the need of informing the people about the potential repercussions in advance so that they can prepare. The Pheu Thai Party is doing everything possible to help Thai citizens overcome this problem through government mechanisms.
