How important is it for cities like Bangalore to focus on alternative sources of energy?
After the agricultural age, industrial age and information age, it is now the age of biology. The focus will be on gene sequencing, algae bio-fuel generation, use of oceans to create biomass and drive to generate power using bio-energy. There is a lot of research being done on these lines. However, the best option right now for urban cities is to use a hybrid energy system. A combination of wind, solar and bio-energy will help provide sustainable energy to the people. What are the challenges in implementing a bio-energy system? Instead of focusing on centralised power generation alone, there should be a combination of centralised and decentralised power generation to cater to the energy demands. A combination of bio-energy and solar or solar, wind and bio-energy would work better. One of the major challenges in implementing bio-energy is sourcing biomass. Thus, it would work better in the decentralised way. What should the government do to tackle power crisis? The hybrid system will no
