Great news from New Delhi

I haven't posted here in a while, but when something like this comes up, I have to make sure to offer kudos: The move to put 2.1 MW of solar PVs over the roof of the Delhi airport is a fantastic one. It is often a fact that governments are slow to capitalize upon technological developments, while the private sector is fast. In India, in this case, at least, the reverse seems to be true. I cannot think of a single software technology park, a single mall or large apartment development that has used solar PVs even to light up common areas at night, for example. That said, it would be good to see this example replicated across India. There are many more airports in the country, many railway stations, and many government offices that would benefit. Go for it, India! And, congratulations!
