Solar catches dust
As a renewable energy expert I welcome some of the views expressed in the article, “India’s power mess” (May 1-15, 2013). There is no doubt that solar energy would be the future of energy, especially as a decentralised power source. The big question, however, is whether it is worthwhile for a developing country like India to go for solar power in a big way. Cheap and efficient equipment is the only way to make solar power production sustainable.

Dubious Distinction
This is with reference to the editorial, “A green facade” (April 1-15, 2013). I am doing an investigative project about green buildings and rating systems in India as part of my journalism studies. I have been digging for opposing views on LEED rating in India but there has been none. It was a delight to find an article criticising these ratings.

A seductive mirage
We at Auroville Consulting have closely followed the “crashing down” of solar prices as mentioned in the editorial, “Clouds over solar” (January 16-31, 2013), and would like to share a few observations.

Cheer, Don’t jeer
It is disheartening to see people like Sunil Dhingra criticise the great service Husk Power Systems (HPS) is providing (‘Powered by husk’, November 16-30, 2012). Small off-grid biomass power plants have lesser transmission and distribution losses and are much more successful than big grid-connected plants that are failing across the country.
