India is a unique country with sunshine for atleast 8 months. Why this energy is not utilised? Simply invest in the research along this line rather than wasting money on useless research projects sanctioned by UGC, CSIR, DST and other funding agencies. We lack a will to uphold the tricolour but stoop down to others to help us. Biotechnology can be used to break down the enormous garbage to produce Methane and other gases useful as a source of energy. Alcohol production can be also used to reduce oil import. Along the shores we can have windmills and the builders of different projects should be given insentives to start windmills at their projects. The batteries used should be upgraded and the research thrust can be along this line too. Just begging for nuclear technology and get insulted may be a casual affair for politicians but not to all the 1 billion Indians. People are ready to invest and have money to invest but due to bad policies nobody is interested in generating electricity because there may be a condition tomorrow that one should subsidize for particular region and community and who will invest in changing policies. Let us invest along the lines cited above.
