We always talk of expensive Solar , Wind, Shale gas etc as sources of Green Energy.. But totally ignore n neglect a much cheaper source - Waste Heat from industries like cement, Steel, Coke Ovens etc. This energy is also re-new able as we do not require additional fuel and it is a continuos and never ending source.. Places like Dhanbad in Jharkhand can meet all its Energy requirement frm waste heat of Coke Oven Plants located in the district if Govt. Hand holds the industry there.

The low quality batteries should not be allowed to be sold in markets. This makes difference in mobile phones. If we buy some cheap battery available in the open market, they will consume more energy and frequently we need to charge the mobile phones. So better take care of the original mobile batteries.

The behavioural change should be induced in rural masses to conserve power/ fuel by adopting energy efficient habits/ appliances. Small gas cylinders-5 kgs. should be available to the rural mass for cooking/ lanterns lighting. It will minimise the use of wood burning, preventing them from smoke of wood, thereby improving a lot on health grounds-preventing many diseases & heavy expenditure on curing them.

Although due to low diesel/petrol prices, the public is easy in using the fuel. But GOVERNMENT should use this reduction in crude prices as a boon to the economy.The reduction should be used to wipe out all losses of the oil companies so that they can spend more on discovering new sources of oil.New technologies should be adopted for new discoveries.Modernisation of petrol pumps should be done. Alternative sources of energy should be encouraged in manufacturing, utilisation..

Biomass cooking is reason for ONE MILLION deaths, deforestation, poverty cycle, lesser rain, lower water table, women deprivation, giving bad fame to villages. New cooking technologies can have prolific impact on social and economic landscape of Bharat/India. R&D to develop new technologies, promotion to existing option that can replace biomass and LPG cook stove can change landscape of Bharat/India.

Petrol and diesel prices must not be lowered as more and more people will start using their own vehicles instead of using public transport which leads to pollution.

Charges of electricity during night time should be higher . 50-60 yrs back , there was was not much reach of electricity in villages . People were taking advantage of day light . Maximum actvities were performed during day time. People were following "early to bed & early to rise which makes healthy wealthy & wise " Earlier days , people were not requiring AC . Internal body heat was lower . Technique of YOGA can reduce body heat & thus AC will not be required .

we need to encourage households to setup soalr power. 1.5 KV takes 1.5 lakh in which 52000 is batteries. These batteries will have to be changed every 4 years. This comes an expenditure of 1200 per month. If the household can sell the power to the Discoms and get money to compensate that apart from reducing his power bills, most of the people should be coming forward. They may need some subsidy and loans at a lower interest rate. This will reduce power cuts also.

Modi ji aap 3 hour's sao hare hain, aisa aapne Obama ke aane par kaha tha. To iska matlab yeha hai ki app "aadhi raat main, kali ghangoor raat main, har raat main jab sare log soa jate hain , Toa app bhi kale kaam kar hare hain. Kyonke aap ke hisab sai kale kaam to kali raat main hai hote hain
