Life is a vicious cycle - everything thing that goes wrong - is stuck in a crazy cycle which is interrelated to many other things.. My deduction below to our core problems in life (energy, climate, development, security etc) - demonstrating how the climate crisis and energy crisis and other problems mean one and the same thing..

Climate Crisis ⇔ Energy Crisis

The biggest challenge staring at the face of India is - how can we sustainably develop and provide energy to 700 million citizens – which will give these citizens access to equal opportunity and basic needs – elevate poverty and provide better health and living conditions – but providing this energy may come at a huge cost to life on earth (if we use coal & other fossil fuel). The good we were trying to achieve will be washed off by the effects of Climate change and first of all devastate the same people for whom the good was meant to be for.

With a handful decades of fossil fuel remaining and a climate catastrophe looming on our heads, the crisis may look like something in the future, but we would be mistaken if we thought like that. It is an emergency situation today – as our current actions will determine our future. We face a challenge now to provide energy in the most sustainable manner to the growing demands.

Challenge ⇔ Opportunity
