|
"But with the major emitters such as the US and China outside the treaty, and with the Kyoto nations failing to meet their 2012 goals, the idea of millions of self- sacrificing individuals taking responsibility for their own energy-excessive lives seems like The Next Best Thing..."

| Is Nuclear Fusion Possible? - 20 December 2006 |
|
|
"Efficiency efforts and renewable energy - while essential - will not diminish in a major way the world's reliance on coal, natural gas and oil. A large scale nuclear project with an eye toward the future is therefore necessary and practical..."

| Power Projects and Economic Development of North Eastern India - 13 December 2006 |
|
|
"It is the time to think and place appropriate demand for claming stake in these power projects at every stage of the finance, production, trading, and transmission of power. As the idea of the power projects in north eastern India is also the economic development of the region, therefore, the north eastern states need to standup collectively to put forward the demand for the greater developmental goal..."

| Russian Electricity Restructuring - 22 November 2006 |
|
|

| Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Security - 08 November 2006 |
|
|
"The govt. agencies always compare per unit cost of electricity/ energy generation from NRES with that of the prevailing price of conventional energy sources. This practice is completely wrong because the 'administered price' of per unit electricity/ energy generated from conventional energy sources, as of today, does not correctly reflect the real cost of generation as they are heavily subsidised in many forms..."

| Renewable Energy for India: A blueprint for the next decade - 25 October 2006 |
|
|
"In view of the rising costs of petroleum products, a national policy has been declared on use of ethanol and development of biofuels primarily for transportation. The harm to biodiversity by large-scale monoculture of jatropha for big refineries is not discussed. Also possibility of employment generation in rural areas by using locally grown non-edible oilseeds for powering stationary engines to pump water and produce small power has not been articulated nationally¿"
