I have blogged about this before, rising petrol prices are good for the country.  http://www.dudurudh.blogspot.in/2011/10/rising-fuel-prices-best-solution-to-our.html?m=1 What is not good for the country though, is the depreciating rupee, the rising CAD and all the problems that come with it. Dr Manmohan Singh, in parliament recently said that " we must control our appetite for gold and economise our use of fuel". Now what good is an economist prime minister if he can't run the country's finances without asking the people of the country to " control their appetite for gold and economise their use of fuel", Right?  Wrong.  Think about it. We're a large country blessed with a lot of resources. Unfortunately, we don't have gold or oil reserves. Well not enough of either anyway. So we need to import both. And we can only buy in dollars. When we don't have enough dollars, we need to buy that first and then use that to buy gold and fuel and what not.  ...

We are all ,at some level , hypocrites  . Some not as bad as the others but hypocrites all the same . Especially when it comes to the issue of the environment and rescuing what little is left of it . We have all read , heard , spoken , written, preached about fossil fuels being a precious resource that is almost gone. From the time I first heard about it ( about ten years ago in class 3 ) , the basic , most obvious  solution to this "problem" was moving to renewable sources of energy . Every single environmental science answer paper written by students of this generation will have that one point very clearly written . And yet , even today , people are discussing about the pros and cons of renewable sources of energy . Lets take solar energy for example . Pros : Renewable , abundant ( THAT is what you call an under statement ) , causes no pollution ,cheap to use . Cons : Hmmmmm..hmmm...some hum ho about ...
