Kejriwal’s Odd-Even Formula & having the guts to ban Diesel Vehicles could push India to lead the Automobile world out of the fossil fuel era. It seems like one small step in that direction… but in fact is a huge gigantic leap for MANKIND.
All of us are aware that the Odd Even Formula is temporary, kind of a stop gap, “puncture repair” till the time the real issue can be addressed properly… he is able to source enough extra Buses… (around 10,000 extra buses) probably powered by CNG. If he is able to get even half of that then the number of Delhi’s public buses would double. This in itself would provide enough relief for the daily commuters. This will improve the overall impact of… Continue reading
Nearly 200 nations adopted the first global pact to fight climate change on Saturday, calling on the world to collectively cut and then eliminate greenhouse gas pollution but imposing no sanctions on countries that don’t.
Loud applause erupted in the conference hall outside Paris after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius gavelled the agreement Saturday. Some delegates started crying. Others embraced.
The countries had been negotiating the pact for four years after earlier attempts to reach such a deal failed.

Narendra Modi has done well to stand up to the US & the tiny European Countries bulling larger Asian, Arab and African nations to submit to their demand of abandoning cheap and abundant energy like COAL, GAS & OIL.
For countries like China and India the availability of coal as an energy source is not only cheap but also abundant which they cannot do without. Developing Countries cannot do without coal until the day comes when the AVAILABILITY of renewable energy is as cheap and as abundant as COAL. The fact is renewable energy like solar panels, wind turbines and their energy plants have become cheaper to build, operate and maintain. But as of now although the price of Renewable Energy is low… the availability is NO WHERE NEAR ABUNDANT. Ways and means of incorporating renewable energy into our daily life are still being considered, planned and designed. Possibly 10 yrs down the developing countries might reach a point where the developed countries are today having installed sufficient Renewable Energy systems to pledge to do away with Coal and all Fossil Fuels.
The richest 10 per cent of people produce half of Earth’s climate-harming fossil-fuel emissions, while the poorest half contribute a mere 10 per cent, British charity Oxfam said in a study released today.
Oxfam published the numbers as negotiators from 195 countries met in Paris to wrangle over a climate rescue pact.
Disputes over how to share responsibility for curbing greenhouse-gas emissions and… Continue reading
