CAN
INDIA BECOME THE "BIRD OF GOLD" ONCE AGAIN?
By S.P. Attri (USA)

1. India possesses at least 70% (may be 95%) of world's total
stores of
thorium, but at the present state of the art, thorium is
employable only in
Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). FBR technology is still very much
experimental,
it is at least ten years away from energy generation. Fusion
Energy, which is
spoken off as a source of unlimited energy, is even more
experimental, its
arrival time is at least 50 years off into the future.
There are probably fuels and technologies which represent a
quantum leap over
our present state of the art. But I do not want to go into a
hunting
expedition after these, particularly when there is a 360 degrees
of
energy-splendour in India with materials, that we already have in
more than
abundance, when we can generate thunderbolts of colossal amounts
of energy,
without resorting to exotic technologies of the future.
2. When we look at our familiar technologies of coal and oil, we
rapidly
realize that picture of Coal is disagreeably dirty, grubby, grimy,
and
filthy, and attempts to scrub/wash it have not been all that
successful or
economical. Oil is much more respectable, versatile, and has many
uses, but
oil also has a pock-marked face, it is very susceptible to
political
stratagems and deception. As a consequence, we cannot throw off
our guard.
The Arabs could have us over the barrel in a jiffy, and through a
surprise
black-mail action, bring a nightmare right to our door. Because
indigneous
production of India's Oil is very very small, we are extremely
exposed and
vulnerable to black-mail extortion.We need to get hold of
alternate sources
of energy fast, while we confront our dangerous dilemma of oil. We
still have
some time in which to get our act together, and suitably
re-arrange our
energy smorgasbord. If we don't prepare ourselves to protect our
economic
interests, we could be upto a puddle, without a paddle.
Dr. Rajaram's uplifting report does give hope that we can expect
to receive
oil in India, in about 50 years time, by way of an Oil Gradient,
that runs
from Middle East to India. But 50 years is hell of a long time to
wait, and
the way things are going on in the world, we could get into all
kinds of
trouble long before that. Besides, at this time our industries are
facing the
wrack and ruin of energy-starvation, because they are operating at
less than
half capacity, they do need an energy-shot in the arm. As an
upshot of our
energy-starvation, we are losing thousands of thousands of crores
of rupees
worth of business in India every single year. We could be making
these
thousands of thousands of crores of additional rupees, if some how
we could
get our act together.
India could also very well be perching on a Humongous Deposit of
oil, as Dr.
Rajaram's experts confide to him, Dr. Rajaram's estimate/opinion
is
certainly logical. But we have to inject ourselves with some
reality, we just
can't walk over and take the goodies that the gods provide us, we
don't
know precisely where these huge deposits are (it is like a book
that is
sitting in the library, but whose location we do not know). Oil
Exploration,
by its very nature, is a risky business. Experience with
oil-exploration
teaches us, that you are going to hit plenty of wild-cats, before
you hit one
good oil bearing well. However, that dilemma is neither a reason
for getting
scared nor for not doing Oil-Exploration. Hence, in our spiritual
search for
oil, our efforts must be absolutely relentless and unyielding.
3. But drilling/exploring for oil is not the only method of
solving our
energy dilemma, because by a remarkable coincidence of nature, and
by the
beauty of locality factors, that are specific (Unique) to India,
India is
blessed with some bounties of nature, that are more than
impressive, in fact
more than soul-stirring. India has been bestowed with:
a. A huge pool of highly-technical labor, with first-rate
technical skills in
many many areas. The Indian Technical Man-Power is not only the
best, but is
the best amongst the best of the world. As an example, the
computer-wizards
of Bangalore, have no equal any place else in the world.
b. A wide variety of energy sources, renewable as well as
non-renewable. The
energy resource-rich conglomerate of India has no counterpart
elsewhere in
the world. No other country has these sources, in such variety and
in such
amounts, because of climatic conditions that are specific (Unique)
to India.
c. A matchless climate that is more than super-good for
agriculture, that has
a potential for generating a limitless supply of crops and plants
of all
types.
4. These "locality factors of India" are a consequence
of its location on the
planet, and of its climate. India has a range of World's Highest
Mountains
(the Himalyas) running along its North, and the Fertile Alluvial
Ground of
the Indo-Gangetic Plain (which is Flat As A Pan-Cake) spanning the
land mass
of India, South of the Himalayas. These factors make India very
very rich in
all kinds of agricultural and energy resources. Unfortunately upto
this time,
these vast bounties of nature have not been tapped at all, because
of a
Juggernaut Of Politico-Economic Bottle-Necks (There certainly are
Ways of
removing these Silly Politico-Economic Bottle-Necks, but a
demonstration of
these is beyond the scope of this message). Suffice it to say that
sources of
excellent and enormous amounts of energy, as well as the
techniques of
tapping them, exist in India, but they are not being put on duty.
5. India has four growing seasons in a year, compared to US and
Europe which
have only two growing seasons, Russia has less than two. Compared
to sparse
and scanty sunny days of temperate regions of US and Europe, India
is
virtually a Perennial Sun-Belt. India has at least 350 Sunny Days
out of 365
days of the year. Because of the existence of the range of Very
High
Mountains to its North, the Cold Winds From Russia are not able to
cross over
into the land mass of India, this makes India a warm place, and a
Tremendously-Optimal seed-bed of Agriculture.
The Sun's Rays are also much more vertical in India, they are
loaded with
hefty doses of solar energy, much more than their
solar-counterparts in US
and Europe. To put it simply and succinctly, India is packed with
heaping
masses of lots and lots and lots of solar energy ( and this is
Free-Energy),
this is in addition to India's very warm seed-bed for
Super-Abundant
Agriculture. Further, many rivers in India, which have their
origin in the
Himalayas, are perennial rivers, because they are fed, not only by
summer
Monsoons, but also by the melting snows from High Himalayas.
6. Although Photo-Voltaic technology for converting Solar Energy
into
Electric Energy, has been well-known for quite some time, for
years if not
for decades, it has not been applied extensively in India.
Explanation
usually offered is, that it takes acres and acres of mirrors, and
occupies
too much land mass, to generate Photo-Voltaic energy. In other
words, it is a
Diffuse Energy and India simply does not have the land mass to
accommodate an
ambitious Photo-Voltaic Project. But there is a way around this
puzzle (Yanks
are fond of saying that "there is more than one way to skin
the cat"), which
is rather un-sophisticated. The simplest solution is to place the
mirrors as
circular (or rectangular) discs around telephone poles, stack them
vertically
at intervals, along the length of the telephone pole, and then
connect the
output of these individual discs, this would swell up the Diffuse
Energy of
individual discs into a Concentrated Energy Heap of the entire
vertical stack
of mirrors.
The mirrors could also be configured as Concentric Coaxial
Cylinders, stacked
at intervals, along the length of the telephone poles, and their
output
connected, increasing the concentration of electrical energy even
further. We
could directly utilize this concentrated energy for powering our
industries
during day-time. In addition, we could build very high energy
rechargeable-batteries, during day-time we could charge these
enormous
batteries, at night-time we would drain these batteries, to run
our gigantic
industrial plants at night time.
The mirrors could also be configured into concentric, coaxial,
rectangular
cans, stacked at intervals, along the length of the telephone
poles. The
exact size, shape, and configuration of these mirrors, is a matter
of
engineering design, ease of use, and workability. But the
underlying
principle of solar energy capture and concentration, remains
un-affected.
The telephone poles could be made extremely sturdy, by anchoring
them good
and tight inside the ground, to make them resistent to high winds
and
earthquakes.
Thus an enormous amount of solar energy can be snared in, and
converted into
usable electrical energy, without pervading upon too much
horizontal
land-mass of India.
7. India is very rich in all kinds of Edible and Non-Edible
Vegetable Oils,
these vegetable oils have been burned in lamps, and knowns as
fuels from
Vedic times. Convertible into Bio-Diesel, using known methods,
environmentally-friendly, clean-burning, and made entirely from
renewable
sources, these oils are an attractive alternative to Regular
Diesel, because
they can be produced at prices that are either equal or lower than
the
Regular Diesel.
As a fuel, this Bio-Diesel is as good as Regular Diesel, but burns
cleaner
(Rudolf Diesel ran the first Diesel Engine on Peanut Oil). Because
these
vegetable oils can be converted into Bio-Diesel, on a vast scale,
their
economies are compelling.
Because Indian Climate is more than suitable for growing these
kinds of
Oil-Bearing Plants, Fast-Gowing varieties of Edible and Non-Edible
Oils, can
be grown in transparent plastic concentric coaxial-cylinders,
stacked at
intervals around telephone poles, and along the length of the
telephone poles
(Just like the Photo-Voltaic Mirrors and Mirror-Structures).
Because plants are very efficient absorbers of solar energy, lots
of solar
energy can be snared inside these plants, as chemical energy (as
Bio-Diesel)
without occupying much horizontal land mass of India. Our Plant
Breeders can
develop "Very High-Yielding and Very-Fast Growing"
Oil-Plants as sources of
Bio-Diesel. Water and Water-Soluble Fertilizer can be easily
pumped into
these transparent concentric coaxial cylinders containing the
Bio-Diesel
plants. For each Q of energy that is expended in pumping water and
soluble
fertilizer, at least 5Q or 10 Q(or may be even more ) of energy
can be
harvested from these Bio-Diesel Plants.
8. India is very very flush in Carbohydrate-Rich (Sugar-Rich)
plants, from
which we can extract/ferment ethyl alcohol, which is usable in
mixing with
gasoline to make gasohol. This Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) is also
usable in
Fuel-Cells, as a source of hydrogen via Fuel-Reformers or
Fuel-Processors, to
produce an abundant supply of Fuel-Cell Electric Energy. Indian
Climate is
better than Super for growing Carbo-Rich plants in transparent
stacked
containers, along telephone poles. Our Plant Breeders can develop
"Very
High-Yielding and Very Fast-Growing" varieties of these Carbo-Plants,
with
enormous capacity for yielding ethyl-alcohol. Lots of solar energy
can be
trapped, to produce usable chemical energy (convertible into
alcohol), and
then into electric energy via fuel-cells, with very little tie-up
of
horizontal land mass of India.
9. The agriculture-based fuels are much ignored entities, but
their day in
India has arrived, provided we are willing to plant the seed of
knowledge in
our minds, and make an effort towards achieving them. These
Agro-Based Energy
Sources, can completely replace the current use of fossil fuels,
and at costs
that are competitive and which India can afford. We can become
Energy-Independent for ever. We are mindlessly playing the sucker
game of
dependency on the politics of the Oil-Sheiks of the Middle-East,
when in fact
we can be Energy-Independent, and the opportunity for us is
ENORMOUS. We are
capable of producing Industrial Strength Power, we can flood India
with
Bio-Diesel, at prices that are either lower than prices of Diesel
from
Imported Oil, or not more than the cost of Imported Diesel, and
thus save
ourselves enormous amounts of scarce foreign currency.
10. The above techniques ( OF VERTICAL AXES) are also employable,
in
producing fast-growing agricultural crops, pulses, vegetables, and
fruits,
and seeds of all types. The difference from our old traditional
way is that
instead of going horizontal, we are now capturing the vertical
space of
India, for our agricultural enterprise. There is no limit to the
vertical
space of India, Sky alone is the limit, Pun Intended. We would
grow our
plants in concentric transparent plastic concentric
coaxial-cylinders,
stacked at intervals, along the vertical length of telephone
poles. Using
fast growing varieties, we would expand our agricultural produce
by a factor
of ten, compared to what we are doing right now. In fact, this can
be the
Greatest agricultural and industrial revolution for India. We can
export
enormous amounts of agricultural output, this export is more than
enough to
enable us to buy all the techology that we need from abroad, this
bought
technology (hardware and software) can save us hundreds of
billions of
dollars, as the cost of doing expensive research and deveopment
ourselves. We
can buy state of the art technology, improve upon it in our own
laboratories,
and stay ahead of the competition.
11. We can release vast acreages of Indian Land Masses, that are
presently
under agricultural crops, they can all be converted into forests.
This
afforestation would improve our climate and environment, it would
also assist
us in flood control, and enable us to build forest-based
industries. The
green conver of these new forests shall induce happy
micro-climates, and
increase our water resources.
12. You might ask where are we going to get the amount of water,
that is
needed to undertake this enormous and ambitious program of growing
these
crops of Bio-Diesel, of Bio-Alcohol and as Source-Fuel of
Fuel-Cells, and
Agricultural Crops, in sun-lit concentric coaxial cylinders. How
is this
going to work out in India, where Monsoons bring us rain only
during the
three months of the year, the rest of the year is bone dry?
Answer: We need to realize that the type of rain that we receive
in India is
totally different from the type of rain that drops in higher
latitudes, such
as those found in the USA, Europe, and other places. Compared to
the
Distributed and Drizzly Rain of the Higher Latitudes, the Monsoon
Rains of
India, are Rapid-Fire Rains, they are quick and heavy (the
terminology used
in India is that it rains like cats and dogs...it never rains like
cats and
dogs in higher latitudes), as a result there is lot of surface
run-off of
water in India.
13. The answer is Quick-Collection of water during the three
months of
Monsoon Rains, and storing it in Evaporation-Proof Containers, for
usage
during the remaining nine dry months. India gets more than enough
Monsoon
Water, to support its Bio-Agricutural Activities, throughout the
twelve
months of the year. Unfortunately India has not learned to
quickly-collect
and properly-store this Monsoon Water. Although our Civil
Engineers are quite
familiar with Hydro-Electric Systems of generating electric
energy, with
usage of dams, and the system of canals to distribute water to
nearby
agricultural areas, the area of quickly and efficiently collecting
Monsoon-Water on an enormous scale and storing it properly, for
usage around
the year, seems to have totally escaped their attention, even
though many of
these civil-engineering chaps are quite bright.
It is said that "Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention."
As a matter of
common-sense, generally this principle works quite well, but not
always.
Warns Albert Einstein, " Don't rely too much upon your
commonsense. Your
common-sense can lead you to wrong conclusions. What makes you
think that
your common-sense is all that reliable?"
In fact, your commonsense can play all sorts of tricks on you, it
can even
make you miss certain things.
As an illustration of this, your commonsense tells you, that
when/where there
is a necessity, there would be an invention. But your commonsense
makes you
forget that necessity alone is not enough, some logical-minded
people have to
put their minds to the problem, as an additional item, before an
invention
could actually come into being.
14. Suffice it to say that a rather simple, un-sophisticated
technology (of
Quick-Collection of Monsoon-Water) can solve the problem of
provding
year-around water practically all over India. India has more than
enough
Monsoon-Water to assure an year-round supply of water, all over
India. To
keep this message short, I am omitting the description of this
Powerful
Technology, although this technology is not complicated at all.
15. If any of the above techniques/technologies, or all of the
above are
developed and employed in India, India can become very very rich,
in not too
distant future. Indian People who are bored with their jobs, who
are doing
dull, boring, routine, clerical work, going around in circles, and
doing
nothing but pushing papers, and are not making much money, could
now join the
ranks of high-paid workers, they shall now be doing jobs, that are
much more
interesting, much more satisfying, and much more challenging. They
shall be
working with computers whose powers would stagger their
imagination and
curiosity. India can once again become the
BIRD OF GOLD
that it once was, before the perfidy of Good-For-Nothing Sullas
sent us
Hindus to Hell. We have been doing a Forced-March along the road
of slavery,
poverty, and ignorance, under tha barbarism of Islam, which no
body can hide.
These are the same Sullas who destroyed our knowledge base. It had
taken us
Hindus thousands of years to build our knowledge, the Damn-Sullas
decimated
our entire knowledge-base, and reduced us Hindus to utter poverty.
The evil
of lusty, lecherous Sullas has loomed large on the landscape of
India. But we
Hindus, in our time, can fight back and rediscover our
knowledge-base, and
make our Bharat Varsha
THE BIRD OF GOLD
16. My system of High-Way Construction in India (that is the road
system of
India, which is bottling up the progress of India, and is putting
a brake on
the wealth-generation process of India) can triple the speed of
road traffic
in India, without tie-up of too much horizontal land mass of
India. An
opinion prevails in India that these High-Way projects are very
expensive,
besides being grabbers of large land mass, and are largely
un-affordable. Are
these opinions true?
These opinions are Not true at all, in fact all these opinions are
"ALL WET."
There is a way to finance these projects.The truth is that any job
is
difficult, as well as clumsy, if you do it the wrong way. The job
is nice and
neat and easy, if you do it the right way. There is nearly always
another way
of doing the same job, which is not only more creative, but is
also easier.
Simplicity is an item, that is badly needed in India. But I am
omitting the
description of these great techniques, in order to keep my message
within
reasonable size.
17. Same principles ( that have been illustrated above) can be
embraced for
the augmentation and modernization of Ship-Ports and Air-Ports of
India.
Again, for the sake of brevity, I am omitting the description of
these
Highly-Practical Infra-Structure Building techniques in India.
18. To sum up, my VERTICAL AXES of Power-Generation, and of
Bio-Products
Growing, are like Extensive Roof Areas, that are open to the
Indian Sun, that
are indomitable platforms for generating Thunderbolts of Colossal
Power and
Bio-Products. Grids of these Vertical-Axes, can produce more than
enough
Renewable Energy in India, plus an abundant supply of Agricultural
and Food
Crops, besides making India More Than Rich, in a reasonable amount
of time. A
metaphorical image of each of these Vertical Axes, puts them as
Figurative
Equivalents of Huge Linghams of Fire, with Tongues Of Flame
blazing out of
them, they represent not only the Primordial Elements of Fire
Energy, but
also stand for the Un-Paralleled and Titanic Power of MIGHTY
SHIVA.
