Glenda Said:

Despite being invented so long ago, why solar power plants are not available all over world ?

We Answered:

Solar arrays are expensive, and use a lot of area. Too, once the solar power is collected, it has to be transformed into electricity, and that's expensive. The cheapest way to utilize solar power is for direct heating of food and water.

Martin Said:

Do you think nuclear power plants are the most effective means of power in India rather than solar power?

We Answered:

Good question.

Alternate energy seems to be failing at this stage, efforts in developing a new power source is a highly tedious task for our government. So if they go for solar power it will require lot of solar cells and energy storage backup at night times. The place suitable for this will be somewhere in Thar Desert, Rajasthan. On the other hand nuclear power plants can produce large amount of energy and can be installed like Kudangulam in Tamil Nadu which is under construction in collaboration with Russia. But anyway Solar power plants can also be constructed under collaboration with any foreign country.
