One of the biggest problems world is facing these days is the energy crisis and lots of people still don't understand the problem being faced by the energy sector in the fuel cost and pollution problem. India has taken an initiative to make its renewable production to be about 20000 by the year 2020. But what is a nation without its people so people should realize that the ones who can influence this the most and who can bring the biggest impact are we the people ourselves!!! Coz we are the ones on the consumption side and we control the amount and the methods In which we use the energy.
