Renewable Energy: Sustainable Power for India

Energy is an essential commodity for most human activities directly (as fuel) or indirectly (to provide power light mobility). Traditional societies rely on their own physical strength for labour then on the power of domesticated animals such as horses and oxen then on water and wind steam engines hydrocarbons (coal crude oil natural gas etc) and finally – electricity (nuclear fusion and fission). Energy when combined with technology multiplies human needs (e.g. motor fuel for cars electricity for household appliances) and thereby playing a crucial role in pre and post-industrial society and very recently IT era. For other essential needs such as space heating and cooking the transition has been from local biomass (e.g. firewood agriculture waste) to industrialized fuels (e.g. LPG natural gas) and also electricity. The needs and consumption of energy has been increasing day by day and its demand has been increasing at highest rate in all over the Globe.
