Solar Farms

Its time we rethink our strategy towards energy independance from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Unlike the americans , who are sounding for off-shore drilling we can take an more sensible approach. Lets focus on Solar energy first

Why dont we construct large solar farms in our large arid and semi-arid lands which are not suitable for agriculture and harvest the solar energy.

This should provide lot of employment of it own to youth and add to the economy. We might have some problem in adding this power to the national grid as we may need a DC grid. But considering the benefits of this one time investment, we should probably give this idea some steam in the coming months when oil is threatening to soar to $200.
