Renewable energy - India's future

The entire world is facing a energy crisis as the cost of oil has increased by several folds. More worrying is the fact that the prices are bound to increase further and the chances of it coming down is very slim unless we take drastic steps to limit our use and reduce the dependence on oil . I feel the only way we can do this is to shift to renewable sources of energy and thus reduce the demand for oil which might bring down its price.India will have to depend on renewable energy such as solar power in order to sustain and grow economically.
