There are also many projects in pipeline and in next 2\/3 years we may see more number of automobiles in particular with electrically operated (based on solar\/wind energy) engines.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional engines are fossil fuel based and that can not be replaced instantly with any new types of engine and <strong>the transition does take time<\/strong>. Further having alternative source is not just a solution, we need to make people aware of the importance of this alternative solution in the context of nature and environment and how it can impact our next generation and why the mankind need this alternative source which is eco-friendly. It is not an easy task for a poor man, who can straightaway compare the price and opt for an option. Because for a poor main it is not about alternative source but about economical importance, <strong>therefore further R&D and conducive Govt policy is required in this area to make it economically viable for a common man too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fossil fuel is easily available and still considered as the common source, that is <strong>because the society and the industry around us are well conditioned with the use of fossil fuel over so many years<\/strong> and in order to transit to an alternative source, requires a lot of effort from every segment of the society. <strong>So technological innovation as well as awareness is equally important for its mass adoption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We have every positive aspect when it comes to eco-friendly, no carbon emission and clean source of energy. <strong>But depending upon the regions and climatic conditions their use may be limited from time to time<\/strong>. Where as fossil fuel is independent of such factors. Further in order to store those power, high grade lithium batteries are required which is relatively costly. That is why we need more innovation in the R&D field and also we need subsidized policy from the govt at global level to encourage the use of clean source of energy. If that can happen then the transition from fossil fuel to renewable source of energy will be easy and faster as well.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and Have a great day.<\/p>","appTitle":"If mankind has succeeded in harnessing sunlight, wind and water to generate energy, why do we still depend on fossil fuels instead of dedicating our efforts to making more efficient use of the natural elements?"}" |
