Energy & Environmental Problems Facing India and Australia and their Probable Solutions for Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation.

This presentation discusses some important energy problems facing India and  Australia and presents the current electric generation scenario in most of the developing countries with facts and figures in respect of India. It is hoped that, with systematic, advanced planning, through measures like co-generation, energy management, and energy conservation, the electric energy supply scenario of AD 2025 will be free of the perennial problems of power shortages, voltage fluctuations, etc.
