The Obama government has shown strong commitment to fighting climate change, and one of its action plans is to stimulate, encourage and develop a green economy that becomes a leader in the world in finding and funding innovation and cutting edge technology that offers unique solutions for climate change mitigation. Just as America has led the IT revolution worldwide, the Obama government intends to make America the pioneer in eco-friendly technology.
But a quiet revolution of sorts is happening in India right now. Surprisingly, India is developing her own scientific tools and machines to fight global warming. A recent article in the New York Times showcased some of these technologies. For instance, India already has an indigenous eco-friendly electric car which does not use any fossil fuels, the Reva Electric Car. Other examples include the world's first solar-powered music band (the Solar Punch!), and the Gadhia solar plant in Valsad, Gujarat, where steam is used for cooking and almost 50,000 people can be fed at one time.
Thus India too is playing a leading role in developing original and innovative solutions fight climate change.
