#005 WHY INDIA PAYS ONLY LIP SYMPATHY TO SOLAR ENERGY?

The US wants us to go for Nuclear Energy and import their outdated nuclear plants. We blindly take them. I am constrained to suspect that our officials and politicians were bribed to accept the nuclear fuel and the plants. Otherwise, why the PM and the Officials ignore the Indian Parliament? Why they are in such a hurry? One only hopes that our getting sold out is not true.

Now, let us see how US is promoting the use of solar energy by its citizens, though theirs is a cold country and there is scarcity of sunshine. Here is the link to Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/2007/08/16/solar-energy-homes-forbeslife-cx_mw_0816solarrealestate.html?partner=playlist&thisSpeed=15000.

How aggressive the solar energy programmes are! The residences generating surplus power can even sell it to the Grid and earn US Dollars. There is a straight 30% tax concession on the capital investment.

Why we do not emulate good things from US? WHEN WILL WE LEARN?
