The solution is population reduction through medical and social encouragement of having fewer or no children. Its not realistic to expect to modernize 1.3 billion Indians into a fossil-fuel intensive lifestyle. The infrastructure and sophistication also just doesn't exist for highly insulated and heat-pump conditioned homes like in the West. The population of India in 1965 was 500 million. Getting back to this level would dramatically increase the quality of life and resources available to each person.
