China to spend $373 billion into energy conservation projects

China, the world’s biggest generator of green house gases, says it may need about 2.4 trillion yuan ($373 billion) of investment for its energy saving goals and anti-pollution measures under a five-year plan. The spending will reduce the energy consumption of China per unit of GDP (gross domestic product) by 2015 to 16 percent, the State Council said in a statement. But the government clarified nothing about who would fund that investment. The second-largest economy in the world is planning to shrink the energy usage of the country for energy savings equivalent to 670 million tons of standard coal by 2015.

Solar Power: India’s Potential

India’s location on the globe is so unique that it receives a tremendous amount of solar radiation that is equivalent to 5,000 trillion kilowatt hours per year, which is much more than India’s total consumption in the present times. It doesn’t take too much of human effort in the form of sourcing or procuring raw materials or constructing huge structures like dams to harness this simplest form of energy. Imagine an eco-friendly car running on Eco Friendly Tyres, being driven solely by solar energy without any toxic emissions. It may sound hypothetical, but there is a strong possibility that this might actually happen. Solar Power Plant is a onetime investment project that is self-driven and self-regulatory. Installation of ‘Solar Panels’ at appropriate locations is the key to harness larger magnitudes of electric power.
