Energy Policy: Band Aids for Bullet Wounds

Published in Business Line on Apr 12, 2008

Shows that our current Energy Policy is terribly flawed. Also it should be obvious to anybody tracking the issue that awareness of fundamental Energy concepts is completely lacking amongst our bureacrats. & these people go on to define how we can achieve "Energy Security".

If these trends continue, we are headed for a disaster on the Energy front. I hope sooner rather than later, the Government allows the Free markets to operate in this sector. The best service that the Planning Commission can do to India is to NOT create another "Integrated Energy Policy" document.
