Is Renewable energy the solution for Indian Power crisis?

Definetely renewable energy is the solution for our power crisis because it is verdant, green and un-tapped as yet. Even though it is costly to set-up one such project, there is plenty of funding available and the per unit cost of electricity generated is quite low.

Well Mr.Vineet, No one is against Nuclear Energy but the project cost involved is very high while comparing to the output ie the energy to be generated.Moreover it will increase more dependency on nuclear supply countries. In case they are not cooperating in supply due to international political level, we have to suffer heavily. One can not forget the radiation also that will emanate due to technical problems that may lead to devastation to man kind. Of course I am not a pessimistic. Nuclear power station is not purely for the purpose of energy generation, but also for defense related.

When we opt for spending so much of funds on nuclear power, some portion can be allocated for the generation of renewable energy which is free from other pollutions and will not affect the atmosphere. Hence, massive scale up of small scale renewable energy is possible with the participation of government or private sector or with joint venture between govt. & private as successful business model.

Sure, it is a solution but not the only.

Looking at our need and availability Gap, the time demands a revolution in this sector.

Yet the speed of action and interest, on such and similar other subjects in the quarters that matter puts a serious question mark on our WILL and INTENT of even wanting a solution.

With a race for acquiring generators churning tonnes of smoke choking most cities and almost everyone encouraging similar short run solutions.

All cited above and in discussion appears "living on hopes alone".

renewable energy like solar , wind and hydro, are needed to replace the huge demands to fossil fuels, and produce NO CO2 emissions.

Our project , like Total Power, delivers options to any group in India ......

Even govt. ha realised the importance  of renewable energy and that can be seen frm the Budget 2010 whr Mr. Mukherjee has mentioned to set up National clean energy fund, 61% of the overall budget is for Renewables only.

Here I also want bring into your kind consideration that Importance of Renewables energy can also be seen by the fact that a new company called Nisarg Energy has entered into Renewables, planning to set up 1MW waste to energy plant, where they will be collecting waste food from Hotels, restraunts etc .

I am fully agree with Mr.Pranav..Since in my view the nuclear energy based power plant's contribution can not full fill our needs .So from Environmental security we should think to develove few other renewable energy resourses,which are Environment friendly as well as a good option for utilizing our waste (specialy for Biomass/Biogas Plants).The by product of Biogas plants can also provide us organic fertilizers which again helps us for good crop production instead of using inorganic fertilizers which are more hazardious to human health.

But no doubt its contribution towards our electricity need will be very less.

So from my side we can pramote such Small Power units in our country as well like Europian countries..Which is not bad at all!!!

I my view Renewable energy contributions can fulfill our requirements in rural areas & for individual households or industries by developing some small capacity Biogas / Biomass Power plants & some solar & wind power plants also in some specific areas of India.
