Modi launches solar alliance |
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched an alliance of some 120-odd nations here on November 30 to harness solar energy better and asked the rich nations to shoulder their responsibilities in protecting the environment, with funding and transfer of clean technology to poor and emerging economies without further delay. India would cut carbon emission levels substantially by 2030 by expanding renewable energy. Given the excesses of the industrial age, the world must turn to the sun to power its future, and India has already set a target of generating 100 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy by 2022.
