Funny thing is I think millions of diesel gensets and UPSes are actually worse for the environment than just having enough power generation capacity, even if that is coal. Imagine all across the country diesel is burning in every housing complex, lithium or lead acid batteries are discharging in so many homes. All that takes valuable resources, causes pollution in various forms. But all that is disregarded in the blind hatred for coal. We need to satisfy the demand first, as soon as possible. If solar or wind were the most effective source right now, India would have used that for sure. Who wants to pay more than necessary? The fact is that the tech is simply not there yet. In the meantime, why should we suffer?
