“The earth, water and the air are not a gift to us from our parents but a loan from our children.” ---Anonymous

Energy resources have transformed human lives and lifestyles. Energy resources have allowed for human achievement and ambition to move from the potter’s wheel, farmer’s plough and the weaver’s loom to space missions and robots among others. However, the modern world looms in the shadow of a severe energy crisis: the result of unsustainable and inefficient use of energy resources.

Unsustainable and inefficient energy consumption threatens the very basis of life as we have come to know it. In the face of the increasing scarcity of energy resources it is imperative that we launch a committed, concerted and cumulative effort towards holistic energy use habits and sustainable consumption patterns.

Energy conservation most importantly means that conservation becomes an all pervasive habit, an everyday philosophy and practice that aims to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, adoption of energy efficient lifestyles and fostering innovations in green and clean energy technologies.

D&NHPDCL invites suggestions, guidance, comments from citizens, self-help groups, environmental organisations towards developing Energy Conservation as a habit towards an energy secure future.

Simply learned from china.make law and order hard and applicable to stop unlawful use of energy.And also the electric department give electricity free of cost to their employee and so they misuses in large amount.

In India, a lot of marriage and other functions consume large amount of electricity as they are mostly performed in the evening. Govt. may consider coming out with a policy of offering Barat Ghar at discounted prices if the marriages/functions are performed during day time. This would result in a lot of energy saving. The Govt. should also spend on re-engineering Govt. buildings and promoting private buildings to suit the needs of solar lighting and natural lighting.

More Energy charges can be made for 5 star hotels, where more energy is wasted for many comforts and where rich people can afford to spend thereby compensating the poor or compensating Electricity Distribution Companies. Thanks, B.Shanmuganathan, 98948-66843, COIMBATORE (TN)-641041.

Sir I am an Solar Rooftop System integrator based in MADURAI since June2012 Named as ARTHANA GREEN ENERGY. Now I am facing more hurdles due to Subsidy for solar systems. Instead of the subsidy we may offer Exeption of IT for customer as well as ST for Integrator. This will help to reach the Target 170 GW solar target easily. Because RoofTop system only eliminate the Discom issues. And can put the special tarriff system for solar customers generating power more than 50% of own consumption.

I have a strange idea, not calculated how much we can conserve but still can save a lot,if every individual does this. I always switch off my vehicle headlight (car/Two wheeler) on traffic signals when the time is less to completely switch off the engine. Engineering professionals could help and calculate the average savings from an individual.
