what about reducing population growth - more educated people marry later and have lesser children. Less population less energy consumption. Also unlike USA petrol (where petrol 50% is cheaper than India -unlike milk which is locally produced by five times costlier than in India) should have heavy cess to force people to use less energy. In USA people want large backyards and greens -so build houses far away - and use lot of (cheap) petrol to commute.UmeshPS: Even if Assam was separate the petrol production would not sky rocket to satifsy Indian demand
