Is it physically and economically feasible to link Ganga and Caivery? If yes, has any initiation been made by the modi government?
PM Atal Behari Vajpayee had two dreams :To join the nation with Roads andTo join all the rivers. …………..Whole country is connected with good roads and road journey and transportation has become comfortable, but joining rivers could not be implemented. If all major rivers are connected, country will not face problems like flood in one area and draught in other part of the country. Moreover, dispute of distribution of water between states will also be solved to some extend. Water that runs unutilized will become sourse of irrigation, energy and utilized for human consumption. Now Modi government has to find the sources and utilities of implementation of such a big project.
Which is more economical and environment friendly for domestic use, LPG or induction cooker?
Neither.You spend energy to create both.Best is a box type solar cooker with a reflecting mirror and a hot case. It just focusses solar energy in one chamber and you can cook most of the indian dishes in that. Also you you can cook healthy less-oil dishes since nothing is lost in cooking.This is truly environmental friendly.\Only problem is you have to keep it outdoor and it takes 3–4 hours to cook daal-chaaval etc.The food is incredibly tasty.

What environmental, political, and cultural factors might contribute to a desire for cars with higher fuel efficiency or cars that use alternative energy sources?
Vehicle pollution?
How to Reduce Air Pollution from Cars and Trucks Since most pollution from cars and trucks is due to the burning of fuel, you can reduce pollution from these sources by burning less fuel, burning fuel cleaner and burning cleaner fuel. Burn Less Fuel * Next time you purchase a vehicle, buy the most fuel efficient vehicle that meets your average daily needs, preferably one that is rated at 32 MPG or more. Rent or borrow a larger vehicle or trailer for the occasional large load. o U.S. Department of Energy, Fuel Economy Site Exit to the Web o Greener Cars Exit to the Web * If you have more than one vehicle, use the most fuel-efficient one when possible. * Use transit and car- or van-pool as often as you can. Doing so three times a week can reduce your fuel consumption up to 50%. o Metro Commuter Services, Metropolitan Council Public Transit Information Exit to the Web * Bike or walk to avoid fuel use entirely. o Sustainable Transportation Initiatives, Minnesota Department of Transportation Exit to the Web * Telecommute (working from a home-based location via phone or Internet) to reduce driving o Sustainable Transportation Initiatives, Minnesota Department of Transportation Exit to the Web o Midwest Insitute for Telecommuting Education (MITE) Exit to the Web * Minimize driving by working and playing closer to home. * Plan errands to avoid unnecessary driving. * Accelerate gradually-a smooth start uses less fuel
Can we use domestic cylinder gas for filling up LPG cars in India? If yes means how we can transfer LPG?
Tharun, my friend...What you are thinking of doing is highly illegal and very, very dangerous...I would suggest that you drop the idea, pronto... Cooking (or Domestic) gas which is available in Gas Cylinders is available at a heavily subsidised rate by the Government...It is only supposed to be used for domestic, cooking purposes...It is highly illegal to use the same gas in vehicles... The LPG that is legally available in petrol pumps (for your Car) is comparatively more expensive...I recommend that you get your car filled up from a petrol pump which supplies LPG... Most people who wish to illegally use domestic LPG as fuel for their vehicles either directly use the domestic gas cylinders in their cars or transfer it to the LPG tank...there are various kinds of pumps (hand-pumps, automated pumps, pedal-operated pumps) available in the black market for transferring LPG from your domestic cylinder to the LPG tank in your car... These pumps might not be very reliable as they are locally manufactured & do not adhere to standard safety norms...therefore there is a high chance of LPG leak while it is being pumped...this could put you, your family & your entire neighbourhood at risk !!! Also if you are caught doing this illegal act, you could be fined heavily & also face the prospect of being jailed... If you use domestic LPG cylinder directly in your car, there is again high risk of being caught or worse, leakages which result in fatalities & death... Instead, install a good quality LPG kit in your car & use LPG which is legally available in petrol pumps...this will give you lots of peace of mind & also you will also be acting as a law-abiding citizen.. Anyway, LPG is quite cheaper than Petrol or Diesel, so you will be saving money... I hope you find my suggestions useful...
What is the difference between Gobar gas and LPG gas? Is Gobar Gas a good substitute?
Biogas, also called as Gobar gas which when only cowdung is used as feeding material into the digester(plastic, concrete or metal tanks), is one of the good source for energy, especially cooking substitute instead of LPG. It can also be used in generating electricity and powering engines like using CNG , but with some engine modifications.Gobar gas or biogas is produced due to anerobic(without air) treatment where the anerobic microorganisms feed on the semisolid substrate and in return as a byproduct produced Methane gas along with CO2 and small trace of other gases. In case of LPG it is a petroleum product along with several other products like kerosene diesel petrol etc that's obtained during distillation and processing of crude oil.Biogas needs to be stored in large tubes (tyre tubes) or feeding should be reduced based on your use. Normally household digester of 6m^3 volume when fed with 100kg or more of cowdung yields enough amount of gas for a day for cooking purpose. In that case it is not stored and sent directly to gas burner, whereas from smaller digester(plastic water tank size of 1m3 or less) the gas is stored in tyre tubes(preferably bus or lorry tyre tubes). As when needed it can be used to burn but cannot be used as a complete substitute to LPG due to less production.One advantage in smaller plastic digesters is it is cheap and flexible to build, whereas larger sized digesters(6m^3 and greater) are usually built underground like a pit which requires concrete cement and bricks to build it and it should be taken care there is no leak in it.There are various kind of smart designs of digesters out there based on the feasibility.
Why do people say that opening a petrol pump is not profitable, but people still keep opening new ones?
adulteration is never answer if petrol pump owner want to increase it's petrol pump sale. Running a petrol pump is not at all a profitable business. Multiple Reasons that Owner done some malpractice:1. Oil companies never provide full quantity to owner. Example: if owner buys 12000 KL petrol then there is always variation of 50-80 liter. Which is never compensated to the owner. Petrol always vaporized so owner looses around extra 50 KL from 12000 KL. Considering that commission just come around 1 rupee to the owner and even if owner do not want to do any mal practice then also they have to do some. 2. Govt officers are very corrupt and always threatened to the owner and if owner is not very powerful man then owner has to give money. which includes multiple department. 3. Whenever govt agencies requires money, they suddenly come to petrol pump and will take heavy amount on the basic of checking.4. Lots of other unexpected expenditure like theft of diesel and petrol from the thief.5. Adulteration by the transport driver which is sent by company.6. Different prices in all the states bec of which states with higher price always loose.7. Bec of 15 days price changing policy, Petrol pump owner always looses for their inventory while they do not get that much which prices increases.Whatever owner do, People always sees owner as suspect.So guys, it's not just petrol pump owner who is making all the cheating. It's complete system which makes owner corrupt.
