use the thar desert - there are vast areas which can be used for solar power. if thar is too windy and has shifting sands, there are other semi arid zones in andrapradesh. we can easily setup plants there. USa and europe are ahead in this curve. why not learn from europe who have already setup vast wind and solar energy stations.
that said, usa is fast becoming a natural ally. we have 50 billion dollars worth of software export every year. russia is a spent force, we have a belligerent china whom our politicians can barely speak to. in such an event usa is a better option than going about in circles with policies like the NAM, or panchsheel of the yore.
point is whether our leaders are good enough to gauge our needs and serve the country as visionaries.

Ambanis and Moser Baer are Setting Up Fabs Which will make Solar Cells Cheaply Available in India very Soon.
Maino Wants to Sell Off Indian Sovereignity before such good things Realise. You see it is like Giving Credit for 20 yrs before One takes his First Salary - that too at a Vague Floating Rate.
