Okay People! so we all are convinced on the fact that we need to develop in a SUSTAINED MANNER. After all we gotta leave our future generations some amount of Coal/Petroleum/Natural Gas for the museum collections!!!
Sustainable Development again would mean using maximum Renewable energy, for instance Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal, Biomass energy etc. The idea is great! Let's make a move towards solar energy. Readily available in India as the Sun shines brutally for eight months over our heads, and shies away just for four months (rains and winters)! So the Raw Material is abundant, now comes the technology! Call the Germans/Americans/Japanese and give them bundles of money to buy the technology. Great! Another feat achieved! Now the manufacturing and installation part! Most of the developers in India are private parties, they will certainly want to go for cheaper solar modules, and these modules are readily imported to the country. Result: Indian manufacturers are left High & Dry! So what do we do? Help Indian manufacturers with subsidies or impose different tariffs on modules based on imported technology? These kinds of issues will keep rising until and unless we review and re-review our policies again and again in order to achieve all feats simultaneously: Go solar but promote indigenous products, after all sustainability is all this is about!!!

Short but perfect approach Priyanka.. U have touched the very key issues..Like it..
ReplyDeleteWell it focuses on policy part, most important factor which really matters is that of willingness of people/industry to adopt such means of technology.
