Need of the hour

Spain 'goes 50% wind powered' - in the small hours

Alternative power technologies are not receiving the kind of support that they deserve. In a country like India, where still many people go without electricity, this oversight is unpardonable.

It is critical for us to become less reliant on petrol supply from foreigners, and from this strategic perspective, as well as climate conservation, there needs a govt thrust in alternative energy generation. As PM I intend to make it compulsory for new building and any construction to reduce reliance on the utility power supply by using solar panels. Wind power in my view has one issue that is not properly answered. The impact on rain bearing clouds. Since the wind turbines will slow down the wind that rotates them, the reach of low flying rain bearing clouds could be reduced. Therefore rainfall will not reach those areas that are farther away from the coastline. Solar seems to be the only zero side effect technology
