Most countries have National Power Grids , which ferry
power across the country , from one region to another , depending upon regional
demands and the power generating capacities of its power stations located in
power-surplus / power-deficient regions
I believe , in EU , countries export and import power
across national borders , using international transmission grid
But imagine if it was possible to export /
import power , to and from , anywhere in the World , using a World Power Grid !
Then imagine this :
Sun is shining on some or other part of
the World , during its local day-time
Nearly 20 % of the World's surface is
receiving Solar Energy , at all times , including on vast tracts of sea /
desert / forests or other un-inhabited regions , where there is no local demand
/ consumption of power
Installing Solar Power generating panels in
such regions can generate , a huge amount of power
And , without bothering to " store
" such power into storage batteries , it can be exported to other regions
of the World , which are facing night and have no capacity to " store
" whatever solar power it may have produced during its own day-time
All this can happen if we have a World Power Grid ! A
power-sharing eco-system for the entire World !
In that case , all through 24 hours ,
regions in daylight will keep generating solar power and keep exporting to
regions under night sky - without bothering to store !
Of course , there will be many practical / technical
problems to be faced - and solved
But if a person in a dark / remote corner of the Earth can make his voice
reach , another corner of the Earth , travelling through a complex network of
dozens of Telephone Service Providers ( Landline as well as Mobile ) , strung
over thousands of kilometers , then transmitting Solar Power across the World ,
is entirely feasible
When we make a phone-call across the
World , we do not know , through how many local networks it travels or whether
it travels over land or under the oceans or through the air !
And , not only it travels fast but the networks
concerned ( through which that call travels ) , have figured out and also agreed
on how much of the revenue generated , each service provider will share , and
instantaneously too !
All automatically , without human intervention !
World's problem of fossil fuel pollution
causing climate changes ( and consequent devastation ) , is solvable
Provided our politicians stop fighting ( within and
across countries ) and start working for the poor !
Fortunately for us in India , Shri Piyush
Goyal ( Minister for Power ) is one such politician
His ministry ( MNRE ) is examining a proposal submitted
by the Power Grid Corporation of India , to generate Solar and Wind power in
the deserts of Rajasthan /
Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh
These deserts have , between them , the potential to
generate 315.7 GW of
Solar plus Wind power !
And when this becomes a reality , sun shining over Ladakh will light up a
lamp in Andaman-Nikobar islands !
For the entire project , the investments envisaged are
:
# By 2022............. Rs 2 lakh*crore
# By 2032..............Rs
16 lakh*crore
# By 2050........... Rs
43 lakh*crore
Now , if Shri Goyal is worried where and how to find
these huge funds , he may want to look up my following email,
sent to him on 01 Oct
2015 :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my blog of 18th Sept , I had estimated BLACK MONEY disclosure
of ( may be ) , Rs 40,000 crores , under
Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets Act - 2015
That would have netted Government , Rs 24,000 Cr by way of tax /
penalty
I was way off the mark !
The 3 month opportunity window closed two days back , with a
disclosure of Rs 3770 cr , by 638 persons , netting Govt Rs 2262 cr !
Quite like , " Digging the Mountain to find the Mouse
"
Now , some knowledgeable persons / organizations have estimated
that the amount of BLACK MONEY stashed away domestically , could be
close to, Rs 25 Lakh*Crores !
But then , man-on-the-street guesses that to be Rs 100 Lakh*Crores !
Time and again , that common man have proved the pundits wrong !
I suppose , the common man knew all along that half-hearted
amnesty schemes are bound to fail , as in the past
But pundits refuse to learn from their past mistakes !
They refuse to recognize that nowhere in the World , any
Government has succeeded at any time to legislate the GREED away !
And the common man fails to understand why NDA government is
hesitating to harness the unlimited
power of SUN
- the almighty SUN of
GREED
By :
* Abolishing Personal Income Tax (
source of the DARKNESS of
CORRUPTION )
* Stop asking any questions as to the " Source " for all cash
deposits
made into bank accounts opened under Jan Dhan Yojana
* Levy a Bank Transaction Tax ( BTT )
of 2 % to yield revenue of
Rs 15 lakh*crores , which would
be 5 times the loss of revenue due to
abolition of Personal Income Tax
* Encourage deposits made into Jan Dhan bank
accounts to be invested in
SOLAR
POWER SPV Farms , by direct depositing of income derived (
from sale of electricity to
DISCOMs ) into those bank accounts
NDA is planning to harness 100 GW of Solar Power by 2020
If above-mentioned suggestion is implemented , India could
harness ,
1000 GW of Solar Power by
2020 !
Just imagine what that could do to GDP / SELF-EMPLOYMENT /
CLIMATE
Let us harness GREED to make India GREAT !
