Most common sensical and silently useful thing would be to safe gaurd the power we may be using unnecessarily. At the same time educating our society when ever possible regarding the energy saving and its impacts.

 Globe is huge / the heat emitted by ac units are low

I agree with Somshekhar, first of all we all should plant a tree, and then it helps in our problem. Actually now we cant adjust without A.C., but it is destroying our earth we need to make plans for future. Our next generation wont use A.C if we...

Carbon emissions due to Ac are a significant proportion of the global total. Sustainable solutions such as solar ac must be pursued. See www.solar-polar.co.uk   Michael

Dear Vineet, why people are using air conditioners. If Climate is good who is going to use AC.The main Cause for using AC is Temperature. Again Temp is linked to the Trees. Because of deforestation Global temp is increasing day by day and more...

1 Power saved is Power generated.
2 Reduce all losses, necessity of energy saving by all users
Vineet Prakash  |  Supported idea  "Power saved is Power generated."  |  2 years ago
Mr. Ravishankar, I appreciate your comment. In order to reduce the power crisis, we need to increase power production as much as possible or else we have to depend on the stored power.
Michael Reid  |  Supported idea  |  2 years ago
This is a good solution as long as the correct infrastructure is in place.   Once that has happened a decentralised system is the ideal method for a stable system with minimised losses.   Michael Reid

1 Inconsistent
2 Peoples interest towards Hydro electricity
Surendhar  |  Supported idea  "Inconsistent"  |  2 years ago
Defining the area for Windmill project it self a tedious task... not all areas suits.. the area required to build this project is high... also the wind is not consistent all through the year
Michael Reid  |  Supported idea  |  2 years ago
The power from a wind turbine is proportional to the cube of the windspeed so power output can be very varyable. The rated power is at the high end of the range and the actual power most of the time is a small fraction of that. Thus the cost per unit...
Padmanabhan R  |  Supported idea  "Inconsistent"  |  2 years ago
Can try off shore and near shore options with higher load potential due to the lower surface roughness of water, but the installation cost is very high.

1 Lack of Awareness & High Initial Cost
2 Product Standard & Pricing
Kiran M R  |  Supported idea  "Product Standard & Pricing"  |  2 years ago
In my view point, the issue in india is with respect to quality and pricing.  Most of the projects are driven by government agencies (tenders). There are many companies in India making PV systems..in this how many of them really adhere to the...
monika computers  |  Supported idea  "Lack of Awareness & High Initial Cost"  |  2 years ago
yes it will be success in indian market but why we forget that we can generate electricity on the basis of energy only because can be generated or destroyed it will be with us last long and if u generate electricity by absorbing energy only then...
Michael Reid  |  Supported idea  "Lack of Awareness & High Initial Cost"  |  3 years ago
The high cost is a real factor but can be cancelled out. One of my customers are selling a lot of panels made to look like tiles. House builders put them on their new houses at a cost of £4000 and find that they can sell the houses for £6000 more...
