Although this whole area of of alternate energy and renewable energy is buzzing with excitement - I am not able to shrug off my skeptcism. I am still not see that the world's large turbine generator sets roaring with steam dumped from a 80 meter high boiler fading away into a technical museum any time soon. Nor can I visualize the skylines filled with windmills or domes of nuclear reactors. I don't see the numbers of demand and supply adding up. Let's say how many windmills will you need to supply New York?
Coal plants and gas plants may not be going away soon. I would urge on holding on to the coal stocks! However, renewable energy is not the same pipe dream like the "paperless office". It is a necessity. So, at least, we need to get started with all seriousness and leverage the benefits of renewable energy that will be in peaceful coexistence with the conventional generators. In other words - Hybrid power generation mix.

About Me

- I’m passionate and curious about change - these days I am trying to learn and understand changing patterns in energy production, distribution, and consumption: depleting oil reserves, climate change, geo-political events, globalization, nuclear threats and opportunities; how technology, internet, and satellite communications can interact to prevent large scale blackouts; how financial and energy markets can work together to bring energy and prosperity to more people; and how lawyers, engineers, and economists can and are breaking walled silos to create a better energy future for everyone. And yes! I speak with an accent Disclaimer: The views expressed in this blog are solely mine and do not reflect the views of my employer - past, present, or future.
