Solar + Scrap + Hydel == Energy solution
Power scenario in most of the states of the country becomes grimmest in summer. Main reason for it is that the hydel power grids become dim as the rivers that provide it potent water dry up. Second reason being household energy consumption, that increases as the mercury rises.
We know that our cities produce waste that is humongous in nature. And this source is constant. We do face problem of disposing it amicably. We can convert degradable part of this waste into methane which can be used to generate power. And the non-degradable portion can be recycled into usable things. Also, solar energy can be a reliable source at least during summers to augment the power thus generated. More over we can not rely on depleting coal & diesel for long to run vehicles or to generate power. During other seasons when the hydel power generators are operating in their full swing, due to slower degradation we may harvest lesser power from the waste recycling plants. Not to forget we will get the fertilizers in scale as a by-product, which is beyond doubt blessing for fields & farmers.
Another point to consider is that waste will never be considered as a serious alternative in countries with longer winters & shorter summers. As it may not degrade due to temperatures in winters when they need energy most & may degrade faster in pleasant summers when they don't need to warm thier homes. If this concept is to be applied to its scale, Indian sub-continent is the best place for it.
