About "Should fuel prices be deregulated?" topic:
It is said that the Central Government would shortly consider a
proposal to deregulate fuel prices. As it is good time to free prices
because the petrol and diesel prices increases will be very low. This
could result in an increase of three rupees per liter each for petrol
and diesel.
And since we import 80 percent of petrol and crude oil from
outside, so the price rise is expected. But someone has to bear the
burden, but why always people why not have something in place which is
stable for many years to come by, every now and then we are seeing
price rise.
So, lets discuss on this important issue of Fuel price
deregulation, like who has to bear the burden, whether the Government
or People, how we can depend very less on other countries for fuel, and
what can be done other than rising fuel prices for an energy-hungry
nation like India? share your views.

Deregulation may reduce the burden of oil companies but end of the day it is the consumers who are going to suffer. so no point in deregulating the price.

Govt. of India has taken a bold decision to lift the subsidies on oil prices to ease out the state owned oil companies from heavy losses.   This decision is creating uproar in the political circles as expected.  Subsidizing the petro products means the state owned oil companies import them at high costs and providing them at lower price to the people. Consequently these oil companies put to heavy losses. In order to neutralize these heavy losses, Govt. issues oil bonds. Public sector banks, LIC and other state owned financial institutions subscribe to these bonds.  Banks/financial institutions have to suffer losses, if the yields on these bonds go down. In the event of losses, Banks have...

In today's news, I came across this article that scientists at Sandia National Labs who were seeking a means to create cheap and abundant hydrogen to power a hydrogen economy, realized they could use the same technology to "reverse-combust" CO2 back into fuel. They still have to improve the efficiency of the system, but they recently demonstrated a working prototype of their "Sunshine to Petrol" converting waste CO2 to carbon monoxide, and then syngas, consuming nothing but solar energy. The device, boasting the simple title Counter-Rotating-Ring Receiver Reactor Recuperator (CR5) sets off a thermo-chemical reaction by exposing an iron-rich composite to concentrated solar heat. The composite sheds an oxygen molecule when heated and gets one back as it cools, and therein lies the fuel. The cylindrical metal CR5 is divided into hot and cold chambers. Solar energy heats the hot chamber to a scorching 2,700 degrees, which forces the iron oxide composite to lose oxygen atoms. The...
