Indian energy crisis

India needs to look at all energy options given that energy is looming as a major obstacle to india's growth

The national govt recognizes this and they have recently elected a leader (Modi) with a reputation for making things happen

This and the fact that EVM has some bigadvantages makes me quietly confident it will happen in India

India will soon witness a new government in control. Among the multitude of burning issues, the new government will have to face the challenge of a growing energy crisis. It will require extraordinary effort, innovative vision and viable solutions to tackle the increasing demand for energy, while maintaining an eco-friendly approach. Energy commodities comprise gas, oil, coal, renewable energy and electricity.

Currently, high levels of consumption with respect to energy-related commodities are paralysing operations in the country because of non-performing policy initiatives. The demand-supply imbalance is evident across all commodities, requiring serious efforts by the new government to augment energy supplies to avoid a severe energy supply crunch.
