The way they think

When the power supply was not there, I started to think about the importance of electricity. I had nothing else to do, no music,no movies, couldn't read a book also. And I didn't have a more interesting topic to think about as well... I felt like dying of boredom.

What if, one day, all the sources of electricity get dried up?? At present, our world is facing an energy crisis, which might get transformed into a more horrible form in the next one or two decades. Now, I remember what I read somewhere about Greenland(Denmark) and the way in which they tried to tackle the energy crisis that they had to face in the 70's.

The embargo in 1973 by the Arab countries put them in a deep crisis. They thought of renewable energy sources and started to produce electricity from wind. In the 70's , it couldn't really make any considerable contribution but, now it supplies around 20% of the energy requirements of the whole country.

They also implemented some innovative ideas to reduce energy consumption. In the toilets of hotels, they are having a two geared flush. It can flush in two different ways depending on what you are flushing. They have motion sensors to turn on the lights only when something moves in the corridors.

It's not that we, Indians are not having such ideas. But nothing gets implemented in our country that easily!!
