Alternative energy options

It seems that possibly more emphasis is on power generation, and not on renewable energy ; which includes sources like biofuels, all energy efficient appliances among others. There are viable and attractive avenues of exploration some of which also need to be incorporated in our import tariff structure. The impact of hybrid (very low fuel consuming) automobiles and other road transport vehicle is another area which can reduce our import of liquid fuel by over half the present figure! Furthermore, the possibility of producing biodiesel and ethanol from agricultural residue, wood waste and animal offal opens up interesting prospects of fuel for the road and riverine transport sector. All these and more can be explored if we actively take up the challenge and not get bogged down in bureaucratic tangles.

At least a start in the right direction has been made; better late than never! Since it has been my favorite subject; one may call it a hobby; I would love to participate in this worthwhile journey!
