Energy Management
Energy is the most wanted commodity of this decade and its misuse to be stopped at any cost.
We are experiencing 3 to 4 hours of power shutdown these days but the road dividers are equipped with sign boards at every 10-15 feet distance with 4 X 32 W fluorescent lights for about 20 KMs of stretch. How can we afford this?
Use of non conventional energy sources can be promoted thru soft loans by Govt / Employees to their staff, incentives on property tax and electricity charges on use of solar water heating systems and solar lights. Advancement of clock by an hour or so can enhance energy security. Scattered office / school / college timings can also reduce energy consumption by means of traffic reduction during peak hours. Its other benefits are reduced noise levels, less pollution, improved health of the public and reduction in road accidents. This is achievable thru a small group of working professionals in various ways of life under the guidance of respective district collectors.
I wish these points are addressed in the union budget and in parliament.
