Question – Describe any one strategy of sustainable development.
Ans. Use of non-conventional sources of energy
India is largely dependent on thermal and hydropower plants to meet its power requirements.
Thermal power plants emit large quantities of carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas and also produces fly ash which causes water, land, and the environment.
Hydropower plants inundate forests and interfere with the natural flow of water.
Non-conventional sources like wind power and solar rays are cleaner and greener technologies for producing power that can effectively replace thermal and hydropower without any adverse impact on the environment.
