by jeffpatel on May 26, 2008 03:56 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

A compulsory 5 day week instead of the 6 presently would go a long way in bringing the consumption down.

Oil Crisis
by koshy jacob on May 26, 2008 03:54 PM  Permalink 

We must think in terms of two pronged attack to deal with this inevitable crisis. Fistly encourage alternate sources of energy viz. Solar and Bio fuesls with subsidy and Secondly use all peaceful persuassive measures to reduce the population growth drastically, even to the extent of giving monetary and educational concessions to single child families.

No Nuclear deal; but we need the following things

Increase procurement
Increase public distributing system
Raid each and every hoarders
Stop future and forward trading.

FM is a fake doctor...
People need a band aid of PDS
But he opted a bypass surgery...
People need to increase PDS.
But he decreased excise duty of cement and steel.
A fake doctor will never succeed
Patient does not have rays of hope.

Lies, lies, lies everywhere
Congress says inflation will come down within 6 weeks!!!
Inflation reached at 7.83%
Probe wealth of Akhilesh Das and Arjun Singh also all Congress Leaders.
Chidu makes policy for his capitalist bosses...
He is not increasing PDS to satisfy his bosses...
He befools poor people with rate cut of cement and steel..
Corporate media harvesting on the loot...
Sonia recognises inflation heat...
MMS is busy in sending SMS...
Religious fundamentalists who engaged school business are increasing student fees...
Poor people are worry...
and they are prepared to suicide...

Can killer BJP and Jesus Advani beat inflation? read at sahadevan.wordpress.com

Make a good public transport system @ cost less than 20,000cr in all metros to save 200,000cr loss from oil companies
by Mahabaleswar Angadi on May 26, 2008 03:43 PM  Permalink 

Discourage all sorts of private vehicles. Bring in a system where public transport systems are more convineant and user friendly. We may not be able to sustain the individual transport system for vary long in the future. For some simple reasons like oil price, congested roads, pollution, unusually high energy consumption for doing nothing so fruitfull ( ex travelling 100s of mile for watching so called hyped IPL)
I know people will not accept these things right now. But when they are left high and dry with no resourece/very expensive resources at their disposal, they would compromise. But it should not be too late.

Make Petrol Rs 100 per liter.
by Rajendra on May 26, 2008 03:42 PM  Permalink 

It is a good idea to raise the petrol price to hundred rupees a liter. allocate Rs 30 out of it for cross subsidization purposes like giving money to state road transports and railways, and also to build new state of the art roads, and metro rail network in most of the urban cities. Also make annual payment of 25000 rs on every diesel car and 50000 mandaatory on luxury diesel car.

The only solution is limiting family size
by Ram Sharma on May 26, 2008 03:36 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

We hv stopped hearing about family planning. The world population was 90 cr in 1900, which is now 620 cr. Population hs grown 7 times, but the land availablity is same. We hv destroyed lot of forest land for agriculture and other purposes. Only India's population is now 110 cr and increasing everyday. Moreover per capita energy consumption is also increasing.

No one seems to b worried. China has wisely adopted one child norm since 1979. We should also do the same without any delay. Already there is lot of price increase, water and air pollution, traffic jam (what will happen when Nano comes?), deforestation, extinction of many types of animals, birds and plants.

The population of developed countries has stabilised. The same must b done in other countries.

Some Muslim Moulavis speak against family planning. They should b punished for such anti humanity utterances.

In addition simple living and high thinking should b encouraged. Stop following fashion and using beauty aids.

if we dont care of our problems Nature will cull do not worry on that front. Many African countries are unable to get rid of diseases and the life expectancy has dropped to below 30.

6-point strategy to stave off a staggering oil crisis
by Hebbar R on May 26, 2008 03:34 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Points 1 to 3 clearly indicate that this Author has not paid for the petrol for his car. It also indicates that the Author is economically better off that he proposes such ridiculous ways of collecting revenue. Our FM will certainly appreciate such a person, for in every budget, newer means of taxations are thought of and these proposals are certainly new and imaginative (though ridiculous).

Loss of sales of Automobiles would mean a loss of revenue to the exchequer and loss of jobs of the people dependent. Auto Sales constitute a major revenue earner to the country.

The only sensible suggestion seems to be on the issue of a White Paper.
