They dont cause air pollution, but mess up the river and delta ecosystems, in the long run".<BR/><BR/>Yes.Absolutely.<BR/><BR/>Also , slaughter of animals,need to be stopped;Maneka Gandhi has written extensively on it.We are paying huge amounts to import cow dung from European countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1133443073871572632005-12-01T18:47:00.000+05:302005-12-01T18:47:00.000+05:30I think exploring alternative energy is an excelle...I think exploring alternative energy is an excellent idea. I also think that India should pursue a multipronged approach, i.e., not stick to just one technology, but try and complement solar with other alternative sources. In a lot of rural areas gobar gas is an excellent form of alternative energy, when built right. Anaerobic digestion will also work wonders in most of India because of the relatively high temperatures that are needed for bacterial action. I speak about anaerobic digestion from experience. My grandmother's house in Dakshina Kannada has not bought an LPG cylinder in years just because she has gobar gas now. I am sure that if they invested in some wind and solar, their house could get almost uninterrupted power for most of the year. The electricity provided by the gov't is so bad that almost anything else will be much better in comparison!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1133423296727628632005-12-01T13:18:00.000+05:302005-12-01T13:18:00.000+05:30"Sun God creates a culinary miracle at Shirdi Dhar..."Sun God creates a culinary miracle at Shirdi Dharamshala"<BR/><BR/>"The idea of using the sun to cook for his devotees would surely have appealed to the mystic of Shirdi, who ,once lit his wicklamps with water instead of oil"<BR/><BR/>"An array of parabolic mirrors create temperatures of 550-650 degrees celsius by focussing sun's rays.The intense heat generated at the focal point of each mirror is used to convert water into steam..piped to feed the steam cooking vessels in the kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Deepak Gadhia's Valsad based firm installed the system for Brahmakumaris at Mt.Abu and Shirdi"<BR/><BR/>That is a fairly old writeup, I have posted.<BR/><BR/>Thiruvannamalai Ashramam has solar water heaters, I have seen.I have also <BR/>been to Vallimalai Ashramam atop a hill, which uses biogas for cooking.They have a few cows and the dung is effectively used thus.
