Follow solar way

I am a Bengali. We do not like any investment coming to our state.Infact we always vote for the who ensure not bringing any investment. So we don’t require power itself.Though in the British era our city was both economic and industrial capital due to transportation advantage for businessmen, nowadays industrialists buy old plants only to remove spare parts to their other factories in different states.

Nationally we have two visionaries in our country tonight. One is “Turbunator” ,with his deputy a Bengali. As a result of this imperative that economic policy is dependent on “Concern”s only but visionaries never feels like changing it. Disappointed with the factory output growth of 4.1 per cent in August, quarter GDP. It (IIP) is not encouraging. It is a bit disappointing and it may affect the GDP of second quarter,” Today Bengali Deputy told reporters. He uses similar lines every week in front of cameras regarding rise of percentage of inflation but neither changes nor ask his turbunator boss to change theUSline of economics. Turbunator’s globalize economy has won many laurels from US but he never realize, how much nationalized banks saved him from going into mess like US.  He left no stones unturned to bring high cost nuclear power in country. He has spent million dollars to buy MPs to save his government even to satisfy US. He ensured all nuclear power centers are created in the states run by his party or by his allies. So he chose Haryana,Maharashtra,Tamilnadu,Bengal. But every where people has woken up and protesting against nuclear installations. He knows people can not afford these costly and highly environmentally risky projects but has undertaking with US. So he has no way except giving warnings like he has given today to Tamilnadu  protesters.He has cautioned Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa that the state’s development plans would be hit in absence of power from it.


On the other hand there is no protest in the state where Industrial growth is maximum, percentage of Job growth is maximum and for obvious reason per capita income is maximum as well. This Gujrati visionary was denied visa by US several times but now they do not miss any opportunity to adore him. He believes in solar power. In a country like Indiawhere there is no dearth of Sun and wind. He wants to make progress with power which is already in abundance, only waiting to utilize it. John O. Blackburn, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Economics and former Chancellor, DukeUniversityhas written that traditional energy supplies including fossil and nuclear energy are experiencing what economists called “upward cost curves” or in other words, their costs keep going up and are not likely to ever go back down. However, the research claims of Blackburn/Cunningham are that renewable energy has achieved a “downward cost curve” over the last decade, namely that their prices have gone down and there is a strong likelihood that they will continue to fall in price. He writes “While renewable energy has been achieving lower costs, fossil fuel prices are being driven higher by a combination of increasing global demand compared to global supply plus the higher risks facing fossil fuel suppliers as they increasing source supplies from high risk locations” He assured “Cost Less, Mean More” results in the form of lower prices, increased benefits and positive environmental results, its backbone is electricity. Mr Darshan Goswami M.S., P.E.writes, On a solar farm, large amounts of power are generated from sunlight. Since solar energy is collected from a wide area, it is important to view the process as “farming” to “harvest” renewable energy from the sun. Solar farming is an opportunity for those in the agricultural sector to view solar energy as a “replacement harvest” and create cleaner forms of energy by transforming vacant or even underused land into farms that produce electrical energy. Imagine making 12 to 15% or more assured return on investment for 30 years without any up-front money. Having a solar energy system would allow you to produce your own electricity. Additionally you could sell some of your electricity to your neighbors, local businesses, or even the local utility company” .He continues to suggest that “India is blessed with a vast Solar Energy potential. About 5,000 trillion kWh of solar energy is incident overIndia every year. Each day most parts of the country receive 4-7 kWh per square meter of land area5.India’s deserts and farm land are the sunniest in the world, and thus suitable for large-scale power production. The Indian Government should embrace favorable tax structures and consider providing financial resources to fund projects to put up community solar farms as part of their energy development programs.India can become theSaudi Arabia of clean Solar Energy”





Interestingly, A decline in solar panel prices over the last two years also has contributed to exponential increases in solar deployment worldwide and lower project costs. A new technology that also holds promise is Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV). First brought to commercial operation in 2008, CPV uses a concentrating optical system that focuses a large area of sunlight onto the individual photovoltaic cells. This feature makes CPV panels two to three times more efficient (approximately 40%) at converting sunlight to electricity as compared to silicon-based PV (15% to 20%) and thin films (9% to 13%).

So difference between these two visionaries is the ability to learn our strength and clearly to calculate costs. Indiais blessed with renewable energy, we do not need nuclear power which is more costly and has safety hazards. Why the “turbunator” is pushing us to buy costlier electricity. It is high time to send him message that he should follow visionary of Gujrat.


We don’t need Nuclear power, renewable energy is our future. Go for it.
