Re: Indian scientists convert coconut into biofuel with impressive mil

My only problem is with people who blame every problem(real or imagined) on the supposed illuminati styled corporates.

Also, solar energy is not viable by any means, at least not for India. The average cost of producing a single unit of electricity from solar power is 14 Rs. as against 4.5 Rs. per nuclear energy. How is it being costlier by 3 times than conventional sources of energy viable?
solar energy is much more viable than nuclear energy, first the source of energy is free (Unlike Nuclear one where you have to get rare fissile material from others), we wont have danger of irradiation and radiation poisoning of our environment. once installed the solar panels can be used for at least five years hassle free, with minor maintenance. there are even some planning going on in cities like banglore where owners can earn money by connecting excess of electricity produce by rooftop solar panels to cities main grid.
can you come clear with the cost comparison, I for one certainly believe that solar energy is more cheaper than nuclear energy.

You can believe whatever you want. Dont let facts like how nuclear energy is actually cheaper than solar energy to come in your way, nor the fact that nuclear energy is safer, cheaper AND cleaner than thermal energy(coal and natural gas):thumb:

i just asked for some link which says that Nuke is cheaper than solar. it may be because of smaller production, or lesser recipients of energy. once you start on a large scale the production cost will surely dip.

India is more likely to go solar because it is an Arid or semi arid region.....places like rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and the Deccan have sunny season practically 11 months in a year.

nuclear energy is neither safe nor clean (in terms of radiation dosing of entire area within 100 km of the plant) no govt authority will tell this but areas having nuclear plants near them are not safe for human activities).

:facepalm:SO you know nothing about nuclear energy and yet you are talking trash about nuclear energy. Nuclear energy produces way lower radiation than the normal background radiation due to cosmic rays

Re: Indian scientists convert coconut into biofuel with impressive mil

You dint say conspiracy theory but your's sure sounded like one. Such projects, "if" and "only if" found to be econmically better/viable, then it would have gotten out of universities



Dude, Brazil's conditions cant be compared to that of India. If it becomes costlier in India to produce ethanol than that it is in Brazil so much that mixing ethanol with petrol is not a viable thing to do economically, would you still support it?
I donot favour anything which is not economically viable to Goi or PSU`s because in end its us going to pay either directly or indirectly but what we can do is start in small scale

on other hand what i find is that presently in India , such experiments would never be taken out of unviersity because of skew in favour of gas/combustible fuel

Re: Indian scientists convert coconut into biofuel with impressive mil

Exactly! If we leave the market alone, it will stabilize itself based on the most efficient source of energy. Govt interventions like mandatory solar energy(which is thrice as costly as the normal energy production) only makes things worse.

I am pretty sure that many here will believe that the solar power is held back by the oil conglomerates like RIL petroleum :rofl:
It is almost certain that solar energy will become cheaper in future. But if we wait till they become cheaper then we will end up importing more solar panels. Low amount of money spend for research is the main reason for our high imports of electronic goods. If Govt. increase subsidies for solar companies then solar energy companies will spend more money for research. If we can achieve 100 GW by 2022 then Govt. won't need to subsidise electricity anymore. Its better to subsidise solar energy for few years than to subsidise electricity for decades. Energy deficit countries like India can't ignore any source of energy. First let us become energy surplus country. Then we can ignore expensive sources.

Oh come on! Not you too! I thought you were someone with economic sense:rolleyes:

It is "skewed in favor of gas and petrol" Only because they are the ones "cheaper" now. Sorry , thats how market works

If our solar panel imports increases then that will affect our economy. If our solar power companies make profits then we middle class people can at-least make money by investing in those companies. Its better than Govt. subsidising electricity for decades.

You of all people are advocating that govt subsidise a power source which is three times more costly than coal?:facepalm:
