Exploring all possibilities to save the mankind from energy crisis in future is of utmost important. necessity makes inventions obvious. use of electricity is becoming more and more costlier day by day because of the production and transmission loss. as it is said in the article, if the loss could be prevented then it gives enough hope to solve crisis. above all under indian conditions, any idea can be put to use only if there is a political will. The political system started dividing indians by language, region and religion. while people are good, there is lack of political will to share water and other resources.

All these guys just want publicity and would do anything to achieve that.... Tell me honestly what are these guys doing... the fact is nothing.. living happily from the grants given by Universities.. are they actually generating any revenue to the country... no no way at allllll... after few years they would dump this project saying "Well Tried" & "Good Attempt" and they will not stop there, they would go ahead and say "The day is not far when Man will power everything"...... This is ridiculous and only our Tax money is wasted

you are partially correct. there are two groups of people. because of one group science is developed. another group uses science for their development. the latter come up in their career by shortcut methods. they use these type of tactics to "satisfy" high places to go up. unfortunately these people are also proclaimed as scientists in india. the recent pay commission benefits will also go to these people. one interesting point is they constitute 80% of the scientific community.

You have no idea what science has done to our lives. The internet that you use today is also a outcome of reseach done in these universities. If you feel that money is wasted in science and technology development, then please dont use the products coming out of the industries. No market, no research (very simple).

Dear Manickam, Your views on the issue & the debate thereof are perhaps the best & rightly put. It's because of the short-sighted take on any new idea which most Indians such as Mangesh Desai are good at, that results in most bright Indians landing up on foreign shores after having given up on the pessimist attitude of most Indians.
