Solar Energy

Perhaps the present OIL CRISIS has thrown open the search for alternative fuel and India is blessed with abundant SOLAR energy. In this context one has to be reminded about the story of RACE BETWEEN HARE and TORTOISE.Oil is like HARE and solar energy is like TORTOISE, but eventually TORTOISE has won the race.

A GREAT deal of work is already being done. Here are some of the more promising developments in recent times

We talk about FOSSIL fuels getting depleted on USE, but there is
one energy form ,which is added ,even after Usage, that is SOLAR
energy.The energy reaching EARTH will keep on increasing with time
due depletion of OZONE layer (Global Warming).I think it is right moment
to take steps in this regard.
