Alternate to Petrol: Ethanol used as Motor fuel.
In India Petrol prices have been hiked again.
Can Ethanol (Bio-Fuel) be an alternative solution?
Ethanol fuel is used as a motor fuel, as a bio-fuel additive for gasoline.
Also called as (ethyl alcohol), the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
Engines with 100% Ethanol:
Beginning with the year 1999, increasing number of vehicles in the world are manufactured with engines which can run on any fuel from 0% ethanol up to 100% ethanol without modification.
Many cars and light trucks (a class containing minivans, SUVs and pickup trucks) are designed to be flexible-fuel vehicles.
Using ethanol blends up to:
85% in North America and Europe, and up to:
100% in Brazil.
In general, ethanol-only engines are tuned to give slightly better power and torque output than gasoline-powered engines.
With the United States as the top producer with 13.9 bg (52.6 billion liters), accounting for 62.2% of global production.
Followed by Brazil with 5.6 bg (21.1 billion liters).
Since 2007 the legal blend is around 25% ethanol and 75% gasoline, in Brazil.
It can be made from common crops, such as sugar cane, potato, corn, etc.
As of October 2008 the average price of E25 gasoline was USD $4.39 per gallon,
While the average price for ethanol was USD $2.69 per gallon.
During 2010 the price of hydrous ethanol was less than 30% cheaper than gasoline.
The World ethanol production for transport fuel tripled between 2000 and 2007 from 17 billion to more than 52 billion litres.
From 2007 to 2008, the share of ethanol in global gasoline type fuel use increased from 3.7% to 5.4%.
In 2011 worldwide ethanol fuel production reached 22.36 billion U.S. liquid gallons (bg) (84.6 billion liters).

Thin film solar cell is the future in India.
From Wiki: A thin-film solar cell (TFSC), also called a thin-film photovoltaic cell (TFPV), is a solar cell that is made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin film) of photovoltaic material on a substrate. The thickness range of such a layer is wide and varies from a few nanometers to tens of micrometers.

Many different photovoltaic materials are deposited with various deposition methods on a variety of substrates. Thin-film solar cells are usually categorized according to the photovoltaic material used:
* Amorphous silicon (a-Si) and other thin-film silicon (TF-Si)
* Cadmium Telluride (CdTe)
* Copper indium gallium selenide (CIS or CIGS)
* Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) and other organic solar cells

Solar Cooker in India.
From Wiki: A solar oven or solar cooker is a device which uses sunlight as its energy source. Because they use no fuel and they cost nothing to run, humanitarian organizations are promoting their use worldwide to help slow deforestation and desertification, caused by using wood as fuel for cooking. Solar Cookers are a form of outdoor cooking and are often used in situations where minimal fuel consumption is important, or the danger of accidental fires is high.

Microwave Oven:
In INDIA the microwave ovens need to used by every common poor man.
Microwaves do not need petroleum gas or electric coil. Thus the risks of fire are minimal.
India needs to get sanitized to spread the awareness of advantages of using microwaves.
Every house must have a inbuilt microwave in kitchen.
The prices needs to be minimal for everyone to afford.
Microwaves usually have a longer life as compared to other devices.
Here is How a microwave oven works?
