Indian President is leading the new energy revolution

Rashtrapati Bhavan is set to be powered by a solar energy plant. Cost of this plant? Rs. 100 crore (approx $200 million). It seems a tad expensive at first. But looking at the future, when fossil fuels and other traditional forms of fuels will be in short supply, this is exactly what we will have to rely on. And one advantage of the plant powering Rashtrapati Bhavan is that if there are any defects, they will have to be corrected quickly as opposed to the bureaucratic crap that happens in government research projects.
Also on the brighter side, the cost of this station could be about 60% less if they use high effeciency photovoltaic cell. And a President who realizes the importance of futuristic energy sources. Great job, Mr. Prez.
Anyone listening? G.W, you get that?
