Then walk to the office and walk back( They can jog if they want to). This will give them exercise, it will save fuel and money, and it does not require any more research :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754134.post-21819999145581180472010-06-23T16:02:39.042+05:302010-06-23T16:02:39.042+05:30Lot of research has to happen in this area.

I have heard that, in some country, they trying to charge mobile by just walking!<br /><br />Along with this, we should teach our children to use as less as possible. Not only electricity, even water has to be conserved.<br />I don't see any effort is being done towards this. Today communication has revolutionized.<br />Television has become universal and even a kid knows how to use it.<br />So, governments should make it compulsory to show few minutes of documentaries in every channel for some time daily. Today technology is very advanced and people know how to attract kids to purchase their products. So, govt should make use of such creativity to drive the point. I don't know why nothing is being done in this direction!Narendra Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617152711089024935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754134.post-66770869226063039722010-06-21T14:53:33.639+05:302010-06-21T14:53:33.639+05:30Yep, I agree for the above mentioned points and th...Yep, I agree for the above mentioned points and these procedures already exist in many places making contribution to the energy need. But the biggest problem is energy storing which is very expensive. Let the research go on oneside, but the otherside we have to change our habits little bit. A small quantity of energy saved by many individuals will contribute to a bigger saving. Make people understand how important to be concerned about energy crisis. I really feel bad when one of my friend who leave lights on when going outside. The worst part is, my friend is an 'Electrical Engineer' :-(.Naveennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754134.post-44056188541382047452010-06-17T20:48:01.841+05:302010-06-17T20:48:01.841+05:30The problem with all these solutions is energy sto...The problem with all these solutions is energy storage. Storage of energy is expensive. AC cannot be stored. It has to be generated as the demand increases and production reduced as demand decreases. <br /><br />DC storage is too expensive and any substantial amount of storage needs huge batteries. Toyota Prius batteries are the size of huge suitcases and cost about $5000+. I once went to a friend's estate is Coorg which was 2 km away from the nearest house. They had solar panels all over the house for electricity, but the storage shed was 150ft away from the house and housed about a dozen huge heavy duty truck batteries. <br /><br />Battery technology costs should come down to make these plans feasible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754134.post-50335958664804298352010-06-17T19:00:09.361+05:302010-06-17T19:00:09.361+05:30The first and the third point you raised is alread...The first and the third point you raised is already practical in many of the gym's here!! These gym's are self sufficient in terms of power. <br />We are not only using up non-renewable resources very fast but the by products are dangerous. There should also be some kind of research like some equipment attached to all vehicles which adds 'H' to 'CO2' emmitted and makes 'H2O'!!and some good way to dispose 'C' or else Split 'CO2' and add 'H4' to 'C' tomake methane 'CH4' which can again used as fuel!! and release 'O2' to air!!.<br />What do you say?satishdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368305786699031065noreply@blogger.com
