I think that's a very parochial way of looking at things...Let's not forget what this inward-looking approach has done to us in the last 40 years...fact of the matter is that most urban centres in India continue to reel from power cuts, leave alone villages..where no one has any power to crow about...
Going back to wind/solar energy, you can't rely on those sources alone, as they are not so cost efficient for bulk requirements..they are good as power supplements, not as primary sources of power..
