GREENS - ELECTRICITY IS A MUST

GREENS

Once an electric engineer commented:

All these people who oppose dams cannot endure power cut even for five minutes! They will not walk for half k.m. to catch the train. They all want cars. All their cries are false and insincere.

Is he not right?

We cannot live without electricity even for a day. Railways need it . Industries thrive on electricity.

A giant wheel can be connected to a small one. When it moves even slowly, it can produce a large quantity of electricity, like the wind mill you see in Tirunelveli district of Tamilnadu. All idle people may be given wages under NREG to work the wheel. The power generated may be enough for a small village.

 The milk sache is so handy. The nylon rope, plastic combs etc. we accept , while demanding (on paper) ban on plastics.

China is trying to convert poppy cultivation fields in Afghanistan into copper mines. Is it not a good idea?

If we stop mining, the minerals will lie underground, useless for all time.

Even your tea cup uses clay.

We must sincerely answer these questions.
