The present sources of energy utilised by the people of India are electricity, coal, crude oil, cow dung and solar energy.

The present sources of energy utilised by the people of India are electricity, coal, crude oil, cow dung and solar energy. Currently the consumption of energy in India is too high in comparison to its production and reserves. India’s known reserves of oil would last about 30-40 years only and it is necessary to use them wisely. Therefore, other possibilities fifty years from now could include ethanol, bio-diesel, nuclear energy and better utilisation of wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen energy, tidal energy, wave energy, hydroelectric energy and biomass energy especially with the danger of oil resources running out.
Sustainable development means that the development at present should not come at a cost of depletion of other resources and should not hamper the needs of the future generation of society. Development should be done without damaging the environment. Sustainable development and future needs go hand iRead more
Sustainable development means that the development at present should not come at a cost of depletion of other resources and should not hamper the needs of the future generation of society. Development should be done without damaging the environment. Sustainable development and future needs go hand in hand. If natural resources are not reserved, then development will be constant or may even decline after attaining a certain stage. Exploiting resources unethically will ultimately undo the development that a country may have achieved. Hence in the future those resources will not be available for further progress.
Sustainable development is important because it saves national budget, fulfils the needs of the people, conserves natural resources, helps in the coordination between the natural resources and people and conserves natural resources for future generation.
The Earth has enough resources to meet the needs of all but not enough to satisfy the greed of even one person”. This statement is relevant to the discussion of development as both resources and development go hand in hand. Maintaining the resources for future need is the core essence for sustainabiRead more
The Earth has enough resources to meet the needs of all but not enough to satisfy the greed of even one person”. This statement is relevant to the discussion of development as both resources and development go hand in hand. Maintaining the resources for future need is the core essence for sustainability of development. It is easy to fulfil basic needs whereas greed can never be satisfied and greed increases with every want fulfilled. Even if the Earth has enough resources- renewable as well as non-renewable to satisfy everyone’s needs, the resources should be used keeping in mind a vision to secure the environment and maintain a balance of production to avoid shortage or depletion of resources.
