And suppose you do this way:
Wake up just before dawn and busy yourselves at work/school/whatever-- in 30
minutes.
Have standardized fast-health-snacks while at work.Labour communes organize
this Catering
Continue and finish work 2 hours before sunset;
Eat simple health food by romantic bamboo-fuelled kitchen fire. Take the name
of God and retire.
Repeat!
You don't need Mallya's Yacht,Tubelights,CFL's,LED's ,Super-thermal-power
-Stations, Iraq/Afghanistan---.
Scared?
Don't!
That's the only way forward for India.
Or you collapse.
Bye the way ,how much or what % of Sun's free energy do you use on an average
day?

the Indian lifestyle
Dear Colleagues,
Interesting info and comparison between different lighting
gadgets. We wish such info reaches people so that they
can go for energy conservation a the same time reducing
their own electricity bills.
By replacing ulra violet tubelights with CFLs, I could bring down
my monthly electriciy bill from Rs 800 o Rs 275 in three months.
There should be mass movement for promoting lower
consumption gadgets to reduce dependence on grid electricity.
Maharashtra is suffering from a shortage of 4500/5500 MW
power yet the government does not act. To ensure uninterrupted electric supply
to Mumbai, it is starving and denyng basic supply
to entire Maharashtra. It has increased minimum power shedding timing from
three hours in many Maharashtra regions to four and
half hours while it does not supply electricty in other region to
fourteen hours. Unemployment due to power shedding is
increasing in the smaller towns and in rural areas creating
serious distress and discomfort.
As the government is now busy only on promoting power game,
ciitzens can take up this campaign on a serious basis. Akshay
Prakash was started as many of you are aware on an individual
basis. It has resulted in 1100 Maharashtra villages adopting
power discipline resulting in savingh of 400 MW. Friends
interested in taking up this campaign are welcome.

already be in your puja room. They line Subroto Roy's staircase. They're all
over the Amby Valley discotheque. We're talking about light-emitting diodes,
better known as LEDs. The LED is slowly, but surely, winging its way into the
commercial lighting market on fringes of specialty applications. In a country
struggling to come to terms with a power crisis, LEDs' efficiency and
durability is gaining recognition in niche markets. They are now found in
architectural highlighting, rural lighting projects, in the average flashlight
and home lighting for the energy conservationist who can afford it.Shyam Sujan,
president, Electric Light and Component Manufacturers of India (Elcoma) says
the market for mainstream LED lighting is barely a million units a year and
growing. This is negligible, compared to the CFL market at 100m units, which
grew at 40% in 2006. He says, "CFL got attention because the government took it
up. This is not the case with LEDs. The ministry of power has now decided to
contribute to bringing in an MNC to put up a plant in India." While the mass
market in India is moving towards compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) from
incandescent lamps some enthusiasts are moving away from CFL to LEDs.CV Rao, an
engineer and a software consultant in Hyderabad, has his entire 4,000 sq ft
apartment lit up by LED lamps. His apartment, which otherwise would have
consumed 1,000 watts of electricity, now consumes approximately 200 watts.
While he saves on a monthly basis, he does have a huge initial investment.
Fitting his apartment with LEDs, five months ago, cost him ten times more than
what it would cost him to light it the traditional way. Yet he says, "In a
trade off between the cost of installing LEDs and the damage to environment
from using CFL or filament bulbs, I'd much rather go for LEDs as I can afford
it."The return on investing in LED lighting is visible within 3-4 years in a
commercial establishment, while it is 5-6 years for a residential setup. For
instance, architect and designer, Jimmy Mistry has been using LEDs as
highlights in projects like Vijay Mallya's yacht and the Amby Valley disco. He
replaced halogens with LEDs for this purpose. The illumination, he points out,
achieved by a 1 watt LED that equals a 20 watt halogen. And therefore for those
who can afford to take a long-view of the situation a switch can make
sense.Among the first to sniff out these benefits are the auto-components,
torchlight and NGO sectors. In the auto-industry, headlights are slowly moving
over to LEDs, while tail lamps already have. In the rural-development sector,
groups like the Environment Conservation Mission, Green Power India and the
Indian Army electrical and mechanical engineers Corps are taking solarpowered
and hand-cranked LED lamps to villages that are out of the reach of a stable
electric grid.These lamps cost anywhere between Rs 800-1,600 and are
distributed free of cost. A key factor driving people to LEDs is its expected
longevity. The life of these 'bulbs' ranges anywhere between 20,000 hours
100,000 hours the life of traditional bulbs. Comparing power consumption, LEDs
consume less than a tenth of what incandescent light bulbs do. Though
international attention is increasingly turning to environmental issues, those
little lights, which were mostly used in toys and decorative lighting, are not
gaining the attention they [EMAIL PROTECTED]
