India should have its own energy policy!!!
by rana mitra on Aug 30, 2007 04:17 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

In todays energy starve world Nuclear power is not and answer to the problem as Uranium reserve is limited and going to get exhausted within next 40-45 years. We should follow Brazil. They are now producing methanol based biofuel processed from crane sugar. In all souther states of America this has become very popular and Brazilian farmers are minting money. Bit of research and clever thinking has made this possible!!! WE should follow this example
