Solar Energy
• Suitable Conditions
• Decentralized Distribution of Energy
• Draw on Local Science & Engineering
Talent (IITs, R&D Hubs, Sharing)
• Opportunity for Export: Economic
Incentives:
– Chinese Example
– Fab City (Hyderabad)
India Nuclear Deal: Effects on
Climate Change
• Benefits?
– Fuller use of civil nuclear energy can slow
percentage of greenhouse gas emissions.
• How?
– Nuclear power emits essentially no CO2.
Nuclear Energy vs. Existing
Alternatives
• Hydroelectric
Power
• Natural Gases
• Renewables
• Coal
Beyond India: Engaging
Developing Countries
• “Until now, developing countries have
adamantly refused to limit their emissions of
greenhouse gases. These countries are wary that
the possible high costs of climate change
mitigations will jeopardize their development
goals.”
