Solar energy to light up 191 remote JK villages: Rediff.com Business
I have received this particularly good piece of news from a young internet friend from India, Avadhut Joshi. Avadhut is an engineer and he has plans of doing his Masters and beginning his career as a Renewable Energy entrepreneur in the future - an encouraging piece of news especially for older people with an interest in this area like me. What is particularly positive about this piece of news is the fact that one more state - until recently known both for its breathtaking scenery and its long and painful insurgency - there is a positive way forward. The Kashmir government has taken a very good step in my opinion. A beautiful state like Kashmir needs to find clean energy to power itself without marring the environment in any way. And, with tried and tested systems being manufactured in India for export to regions with similar climatic conditions like Afghanistan, the solution is available indeed for implementation in Kashmir itself. I hope that this beginning would also see solar powered traffic lights in Kashmir in addition to more wind power installed as well. This is a development that I shall be watching.
And, Himachal Pradesh - what are you planning? Aren't you interested in competing with Kashmir on a friendly basis? With similar conditions, you are an equally good candidate for solar power . . .
