India is the fourth largest producer of electricity, but some people in India still do not have access to electricity. 88% of their power plants use non renewable fuel and 12% use renewable fuel.

Thermal, hydroelectric and renewable, and nuclear power are used, with nuclear being the fourth-largest source after the others listed.

India is a leader in wind generation and number one in terms of solar energy production per watt installed.

Why should India agree on nuclear deal with America?

We know that energy requirement plays a vital role in our day-to-day life. India is suffering from heavy power shortage and it has to be dependent upon the conventional sources of energy to meet its energy requirement, which nowadays is getting depleted. This results in price rise of energy, so a source of energy is required to combat the problem of energy crisis. Nuclear deal is one of the major solutions. It will indeed help India in development both economically and socially. It has major impact on farmers when they will find it easy to pay the negligible cost of using energy for their agricultural process.

Find out the present sources of energy that are used by the people in India and What could be the other possibilities fifty years from now?

Presently, fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gasoline are in high demand to the people as the source of energy .To a certain extent; even there are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydro energy in use but very little.Seemingly,since India has very little developed the sources like solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydro energy yet.
