India’s population could solve its energy crisis. Here’s how...

While this technology would reduce carbon emissions and fairly cut down electricity costs, the implementation of this experiment sure demands a huge budget. Says Mr. Narasimhan, “If I look at it, technically, body heat can be used for various purposes, but I doubt if a technology like such is economically viable or not. Even if the proposal is passed by the European countries, I’m sure it will demand a huge budget.” This brings us to the question that whether or not the technology can be brought to India. “Oh, that will take years!” exclaims Mr. Narasimhan. Sure, it might take years, but wouldn’t this proposition have a better success rate as well as supply rate of heat energy if also set-up in more populated countries like India? India has millions of people who travel by train and the country also has hot and sweaty weather conditions which can, perhaps, generate heat energy for most of the countries!

It might be a very far-sighted conjecture, but if the budget is worked out and if in some years this technology is brought to India, it might lead to a situation where our country would not have to depend on other developed nations for funds for economic development. India could then sustain itself by producing and distributing heat by using its population – a major hindrance to the country’s development today – to its advantage in the future!
