Industrial Electricity Rates Graph: India, China and the US

India has one of the highest industrial electricity rates in the world, exceeding those in the US, in most developing countries and in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), both in absolute terms and much more so on a PPP basis.24 This is largely to finance subsidies to low income households and agriculture. Electricity-intensive industries have responded by generating electricity themselves, but have also been forced to economize on electricity use, since all fuel prices have increased since the nineties.

Earth: Renewable Energy resources

Renewable energy experts often trying determine the total energy potential of Earth and proclaim that renewable energy resources are essentially infinite.We are surrounded by incredible amounts of diffuse renewable energy resources like Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Ocean energy, etc. Unfortunately, however, this energy is useless to us unless it is concentrated into forms such as electricity or fuels.
