11. Some New Paradigms to Consider:
If Energy is clean, economical & abundantly available,
we will use energy in ways we have never imagined before and
energy usage & markets will grow exponentially.
India‟s lack of Fossil Based Energy Infrastructure compared to Developed Countries
& China gives India a serious advantage to disruptively transition to Clean
Sustainable Self Reliant Energy. India needs to seize the moment.
The 800 million plus Rural and Urban poor in India who have no or limited energy
access adopt energy efficient usage instead of mimicking developed country
(especially USA) extravagant energy usage patterns.
When the Market Matures the focus rightly should be
on getting a larger share of the pie
When the market is emerging, the focus should be on making the pie exponentially
bigger. Multi-disciplinary collaborations are key enablers

Can we do the same with Sustainable Energy Transition?
