Write your vision of how India should solve it's energy crisis? CNG, LNG, biomass fuels, solar, wind, nuclear, methane, hydrogen, fusion,oil?

Before we consider looking into the future in solving India's current energy crisis, we must first identify the factors that affect the Indian energy sector. Current measures undertaken by the government has mainly concentrated their efforts in the level of energy output putting aside the current energy demand. "There is enormous scope for managing the demand and increasing energy efficiency across the board.

While the energy intensity of our economy-energy used per unit of the GDP (in purchasing-power-parity terms)-has improved over the years, it is still 25 per cent greater than that of Japan. " On the energy side one of the most practical way to solve the energy crisis is to maximize and evaluate the overall coal supply and this is used wisely and equitably. Even though renewable energy have made some advances lately such as wind power, solar power and wave energy, it is still not enough to make some dent on India's current energy mix.

With regards to fossil fuels, the best solution is to decrease the level of dependence and give more subsidies to research and development of Electric Vehicles, thereby avoiding external payments pressure in the Gross International Reserves. To add to this, India should also explore the possibilities of tapping geothermal energy which is widely available across the sub-continent. As far as Rural Electrification is concerned, this has to be aggressively pursued, in order that disparities between communities will be reduced and contribute to the economic expansion of the economy.

The most practical thing to do for the rural folk is the enhancement in off-grid renewable "such as biomass gasifiers and solar photovoltaics can help bring electricity to remote areas. The creation and financing of sustainable business models to supply energy services to rural consumers is a challenge. " In order to harmonize, energy projects already in the pipeline to augment future energy demands, the government should initiate public consultation to different stakeholders affected by this energy projects, in order to prevent delays and instill understanding, acceptance & support for the endeavor.As world leaders agree to combat global warming, as far as India is concerned, this will surely influence it's energy policy, by leaning towards a more renewable technologies already available to them.

As a final note what needs to be done is to macro-manage the energy sector of India, by putting up an "Integrated Energy Policy.

India fist step to solving it energy crisis must start with a vision that will encompass every aspect which will propel the nation as being a self sufficient country that can meet its entire energy needs. This vision will be driven by three main factors 1. Educating the people 2.

Private and Government funding 3. Using natural resources to maintain and drive India's self energy dependency The most important aspect of the vision would be to educate and unify the people towards India being a self sufficient energy producing country. By doing this the country citizens would have the knowledge and the skills to increase the countries energy output and also less time and money would be spent having to look overseas for such workers.

The government would have to implement programs in schools and also provide incentives to students who are willing to persue degrees in the line of energy. Private Companies and Government funding will also be a crucial step towards energy self sufficiency in India. The Government and Private Companies would have to come to an agreement as to which path and policies they will need to implement as to making the country energy self dependent.

The reason also for the private funding is that these companies would have the expertise,know how and steps needed to start up and maintain this vision. Financial funding would be a key factor and Private Companies such as the Tata Group would be keen to assist the Government in such a program. Listed below is Proposed Guidelines for Policy Makers in India ----quote---- Vigorous promotion of renewable energy by government agencies, corporate, public sector, academic institutions etc.Establishment of national-level body to increase awareness of renewable energy at grass-root level Financial support and sponsorship for research and development in renewable energy technologies.

Ambitious goals and targets for power generation non-conventional sources. Installation of solar / wind / biomass power generation systems and energy saving in every government office to encourage and inspire people. Restriction on using large battery energy storage systems.

Compulsory installation of solar water heating systems for all urban residential and commercial establishments. Mandatory renewable energy systems provision for new residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Attractive incentives and subsidies for installation and successful operation of renewable energy equipment.

Abolishing duties / taxes on import of small-scale renewable energy generating equipment Cultivation of energy crops on marginal and degraded land Use of biofuels in vehicles. Soft loans for setting up renewable energy enterprises. Additional incentives for buyers and manufacturers of renewable energy equipments in rural areas.

----quote---- Information quoted from http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/future-renewable-energy-india/ India can rely on biomass fuels, solar, wind and methane as the dominate fuel alternatives to solve all of it's energy needs. By growing large quantities of Karanj Tree,Pongamia Pinnata trees and Jatropha Plant the seeds for both plants can be use to create diesel fuel for India's Economy. Also by tending these plants the organic waste such as dead trees, branches and barks can be use also as biomass fuels which can contribute even more to India's energy solution.

Another biomass fuel that the government can rely on is livestock manure. Methane through livestock manure is one of the renewable energy sources that most people in the rural districts of India use to generate energy. ----quote---- Given the realities of the biodiesel markets, a successful biodiesel business plan begins with an effective feedstock strategy from which process design flows.

To make biodiesel a long-term business opportunity, attention must be to the critical issue of availability of right feedstock at right cost. Jatropha and other nonfood feedstocks will be a vast source of biofuel and a key to reducing our dependence on fossil fuel Jatropha can bring significant environmental benefits.It can replace jet fuel and diesel from petroleum without interfering with food crops or leading to the clearing of forests. The good thing about Jatropha is that you're producing a tree shrub that lives for a long time and does its job, producing oil, while it also sequesters lots of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere ----quote---- Information quoted from http://www.jatrophabiodiesel.org/ At present India gains 4.7GW of power from 17 reactors.

The government plans to increase that 100-fold, to 470GW of nuclear power by 2050. Once this is achieved India would be the largest nuclear power in the world. It also sets out an ambitious plan to boost solar and wind energy.

The solar plan is to produce 20GW from sunlight by 2020. Although India is now looking to solar energy the country use wind energy for quite time to produce energy. In order for India to meets its demands the country will have to invest in the people,technology and renewable energy sources in order for this to happen.

First of all stop the wastages and switch to fuel efficent solutions . Saving money is better then making money.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
