INDIA LEADS THE WAY IN SOLAR POWER – FANTASY OR PREDICTION?
Chennai India 2012
It seems silly that when power from a monster nuclear fusion station a safe distance away is supplying non-polluting power in prodigal amounts—in the form of sunlight—people should be talking about power starvation.
The idea was Indian, and it was laughably simple, but it ushered in solar power in a massive way. The innovation was battery changing stations for electric powered cars similar to petrol filling stations. The power came from the sun. The trick was to place photovoltaic panels wherever one can place them, on uncultivable land, on More >
