How solar energy can be produced at competitive cost for the welfare of people at large?Presently what is the status of its use in india?

Professor Andrew Blakers from The Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems at the Australian National University will today report to the Greenhouse 2000 Conference in Melbourne that photovoltaic (PV) solar energy conversion can be cost-competitive with any low-emission electricity generation technology by 2030.
His paper describes how extrapolation of the huge economic and technical gains made by photovoltaics over the last 15 years gives confidence that a dramatic shift in electricity generation technology over the next quarter-century is possible.
Worldwide photovoltaic sales are growing at 40 to 50% per year. Government research market support for photovoltaics of around $400 billion spread over the next 25 years can deliver the technology required to eliminate electricity production as a contributor to climate change. This is a large sum of money - similar to the cost of the Iraq war – but it is dwarfed by the $23 trillion expected investment in oil exploration out to 2030 or the $24 trillion investment in PV systems required to generate half of the worlds electricity by 2040.
Professor Blakers will also describe Sliver solar cell technology, which was invented at Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Dr Klaus Weber and Professor Blakers in 2000 while attending a conference. Origin Energy, one of the sponsors of the Greenhouse 2000 Conference, is commercialising Sliver technology in Adelaide.
Work at ANU shows that Sliver solar cell technology can achieve electricity costs below retail electricity costs within five years, with the right investment. Explosive growth in sales in the commercial and residential sector will then follow.
Professor Blakers said that Sliver solar cell technology can go all the way.s not difficult to envisage Sliver based technology delivering electricity at a cost that matches wind energy, zero-emission coal and other clean energy technologies. No leap of faith is required; just careful engineering and adaptation of existing techniques from other industries, he said.
Dr Weber added that it is essential to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel based electricity generation in order to limit climate change. The cost of doing this with advanced solar technology will be far lower than the pessimistic forecasts advanced by some analysts.
The key to a clean energy future is the setting of clear and challenging targets and the provision of reliable, long-term support to the solar industry. The industry will respond and deliver the required technology, Dr Weber said. Recent solar and fuel cell articles

Harvesting tornadoes as power plants; renewable wind vortex energy October 9, 2005
Engineers are working to use artificial tornadoes as a renewable energy source according to an article in last weeks issue of The Economist. Storms release a tremendous amount of energy. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 hurricane, released enough energy to supply the worlds power needs for a year, while the typical tornado produces as much power as a large power station.
Danish researchers develop hydrogen tablet; stores hydrogen in inexpensive and safe material September 21, 2005
Scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have invented a technology which may be an important step towards the hydrogen economy: a hydrogen tablet that effectively stores hydrogen in an inexpensive and safe material. With the new hydrogen tablet, it becomes much simpler to use the environmentally-friendly energy of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a non-polluting fuel, but since it is a light gas it occupies too much volume, and it is flammable. Consequently, effective and safe storage of hydrogen has challenged researchers world-wide for almost three decades. At the Technical University of Denmark, DTU, an interdisciplinary team has developed a hydrogen tablet which enables storage and transport of hydrogen in solid form.
High oil prices make Asia pursue green energy September 9, 2005
For energy-hungry Asian governments, the answer could literally be blowing in the wind. Across the region, renewable energy such as solar, wind and geothermal power is gaining ever greater credence as a way to curb the regions appetite for oil and cut runaway import bills. With oil prices near $70, and expected by many analysts to stay over $50 through the end of 2006, governments believe alternative energy will help keep their economies growing.

It never fails to amaze me how one can succeed fast just by joining a MLM program. Have you ever wondered how one can be successful by joining a MLM program? Well, I know I do. The secret to the success of this is by using guaranteed sign ups.
Do me a favour and search the Internet. I bet there are many results and you can find that there are many companies that are providing guaranteed sign ups services. However, are they all legitimate?
If you are wondering too, let me help you. Below are three pointers which you can use if you want to order a guaranteed sign up.
1) Guaranteed sign ups should be expensive - Sounds a little surprising right? It is true. If a sign up costs you only $0.50 - $0.80, be on your guard. How could it be possible that sign up be so cheap? A simple thought process would answer that: If the company decides to make $0.40 profit out of every sign up sent to you, that means that their cost of sign up is only $0.10 - $0.40. That is totally illogical right? $0.10 per sign up???
You may question me and Ill tell you why. Medical and insurance leads cost three to five dollars per lead, So, how can the sign up be just a few cents? Something must be wrong isnt it?
One important thing to remember, a sign up should be at least one dollar twenty cents to one dollar and fifty cents per sign up.
2) The next thing you should note is that your guaranteed sign up should not and never be worldwide. For example if you buy a hundred sign ups, you will get a hundred of them from China, Argentina, Iran, Chile, Malaysia, etc. I am not trying to be insulting but honestly, I dont think you can get them to your business. I can offer you a thumb rule: Always demand for sign ups from USA, UK or Australia.
3) The last thing you should remember is that the sign up you buy should have good customer feedback. Some companies offer you things that are too good to be true. But to ensure that they are true, you should check out the feedback given by others. One of the best ways to see if the company is legitimate i by looking at the testimonials given by others.
By using the three pointers above, it should be enough to guide you and you can start looking for a company which provides you with a sign up that you want.
Buy a small package, track and test it out.
Lets assume that you have fifty sign ups but only one sign up wants to upgrade you to paid membership. Do you think that is a good result?
Honestly, I think that is a good result. Why? Well if you do the calculation that is a 2% conversion which is a market average. However, in order to achieve this, it really depends on factors like your program and how convincing the up line is.
So, there you have it. All the things you need to know and also three important points to remember when you look for a guaranteed sign up company.
