Do you think "aimed" the correct word to be used here in this sentence?

Question

----------------------------
Furthermore, our country is also developing its vast potentials of other energy sources which are *aimed* to have sufficient domestic energy supply in order to allow us to continue oil exports to earn foreign exchange revenue to support this country’s economic development.

Answer 1

It works.
You could also use:
- intended
- designed
- planned
- targeted

Maybe think about it this way (just another way to say it):

"Furthermore, our country is also developing its vast potentials of other energy sources that are planned to have sufficient domestic energy supply that will let us continue exporting oil and therefore earning foreign exchange revenue to support this country’s economic development."

Answer 2

That's quite a long sentence! Suggest a rewrite similar to this:

Furthermore, our country is also developing its vast potential of using alternative energy sources aimed at maximizing sufficient domestic energy supply, thereby allowing us to export oil again, which earns foreign exchange revenue in support of this country’s economic development.

Answer 3

It is correctly used, but your sentence is kind of run-on.

It would be better like this:

Furthermore, our country is also developing its vast potentials of alternative energy sources which are aimed to have sufficient domestic energy supply in order to allow us to continue oil exports. This is so our country could earn foreign exchange revenue to support our economic development.

Answer 4

Furthermore, our country is also developing its vast potential for alternative energy with intention to increase domestic energy supply. This will allow us to continue oil exports so we may earn foreign exchange revenue in support our country’s economic development.

Answer 5

Futhermore, our country is developing it's vast potential for alternative energy sources, aiming at having sufficient domestic supplies, in order to allow us to continue to earn foreign exchange revenue to support this countries economic development.

Answer 6

redundant and unclear. try : Furthermore,our country is also developing other vast potential energy sources with the aim of generating enough domestic energy supply to allow us to continue to export oil. This in turn generates foreign exchange which then supports this country's further development.

Answer 7

"aimed" works just fine. This sentence, though, should really be edited down a little in order for the reader (or hearer) to fully grasp its meaning. There is so much information in that single sentence...I had to read and re-read it, which is a sign that it's too wordy. Could you break this down into two sentences?

I also suggest that you change the phrase "vast potentials of other energy sources"; first of all, I don't believe that the word potential is ever used in a plural form. (I referenced the dictionary just to be sure, and I saw no evidence of plurality.) Would the phrase "other energy sources" work OK?

Answer 8

not an expert but...i think it would sound better in this term to put it this way...
furthermore our country is also developing its vast potentials of energy sources which are aimed at sufficient domestic energy supplies in order to allow us to continue......etc

Answer 9

You got my vote Yes Aimed is sufficient enough to be used in that sentence

Answer 10

Doesn't really matter. The sentence structure is pretty horrible. Include more of the context so I can see what you're trying to say and I can suggest something.
