1India has tremendous potential in non-conventional sources of energy. Elucidate the statement with suitable examples and arguments in about 250 words.

Hello,

Hope you are doing good.

COming to your question, Below I have explained the statement briefly,

Non-conventional sources of energy also called renewable resources are the energy sources that won’t cannot be exhausted easily, as they are continuously regenerated by natural processes at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which they are consumed. Some of the examples are solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy etc.

We live in a country that is blessed in abundance with such sources of energy like sunlight, water , wind, and biomass.

Let us consider an example, India being a tropical country has enormous possibilities of tapping solar energy. Karnataka is the state with the highest installed solar power generation capacity in the country.

Similarly wind energy is utilised in India at a massive scale. The largest wind farm cluster is located in Tamil Nadu from Nagarcoil to Madurai

We need a tenfold increase in the investment in utilising the existing  renewable energy and for research on how more new renewable sources of energy can be used for the same, if we want to reduce the  consumption of coal and oil or other such Conventional sources of energy, that cannot be generated at the speed which can sustain its consumption rate.

Good Luck
