Renewable energy Resources

1. Solar

2. Geothermal

3. Tidal

4. Organic (Solid and Liquid)

5. Wind

6. Water & Ocean

Promises of the EU (European Union)

Future Superpower or non existent India??

“We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there. We should feel a great sense of urgency because it is the most dangerous crisis we have ever faced, by far. But it also provides us with opportunities to do a lot of things we ought to be doing for other reasons anyway. And to solve this crisis we can develop a shared sense of moral purpose.”
