No place for prejudice !

Solar power can be easily utilized for rural electrification. Are we running shortage of solar radiation? The so called modern people are not purposeful but run after some imaginative sophistication to blindly copy western countries perhaps! This is a psychic problem that conceals facts! I can call this as western intoxication! Wind and tidal powers can also be complimentary sources.
I am not prejudicial to avoid nuke energy! But, I know compared to my above suggested conventional sources, how risky is nuke energy, if Mr. Srinivasan, the nuke scientist is regretfully not aware of! The so called modern view is to fix priority no on the basis of risk to life but on the basis of economy. I will say with all out confidence that priority should be based ONLY upon life even if it is the life of one as life is costlier to any huge amount!

Definitely we have good sunlight hours with us. But even with a handsome subsidy on it, how many solar power home are there around, including those in Developed countries? Let alone mega Projects. Another thing, Generating electricity is one thing and saving it to run our Fridge and Oven in the night is altogether a different thing. No, Nil, the technology is not yet ripe for us to harvest.

The same is the case with Wind Energy. Practically, I would sum up these non-conventional energy as fancy, in present context. We can not heavily depend on these, at least in near future.
