I have a question, could be a basic one but i am stumbling on this again and again - Pranay mentioned that energy intensity is a good thing. How to think about this considering electricity is expensive in terms of the resources needed to produce it, like coal (this is the primary source as per my understanding), especially since we don't yet use nuclear power for clean energy? Additionally, keeping street lights on throughout/ or too much light, wont it affect birds? Are we supposed to overlook the environmental issues because we are a developing economy?

[@puliyabaazi]

We will try to address this question someday. A short answer would be that energy intensity is often corelated to the level of economic activity in the region. As economies grow and produce more, they would also consume more energy (to enable the economic production). About the impact on environment - yes, there is a trade-off.

[@puliyabaazi]

Hi Tanaya, this is my take. Street lights are meant to make roads safe for humans. That's their purpose. We can think of preventing light pollution elsewhere, for example near forests or in national parks or green spaces,while keeping city streetlights on. There are zero rich countries with low energy intensity. We are one of the lowest consumers per capita. Many Indians haven't had all the benefits from electricity. So energy intensity is absolutely needed. It will be a plus if we get it from renewables and nuclear but that's a secondary consideration at our levels of development. - Pranay

[@tanayapandit2771]

Thank You Pranay, Khyati and Saurabh for responding to my question. I think now I understand your point of view and this will help me make my own. Because I live in good conditions - ample water, electricity etc. I can only imagine worse conditions less privileged people have to live in. But there are many people like me who think conservation of ecology should go hand in hand with development. For example, extensive development of infrastructure like concrete roads has led to an increase in temperature, also leading to floods (not sure how true this is but hearing this often). Cutting forests everywhere. This is something I cannot get my head around. Can't there be any way of development by preserving the forests. (E.g. Cutting lacks of trees for artificial beautification in Pune or for kawadiya people journey in UP). On one hand people are dying of the high temperatures and on the other hand we are cutting wholly grown forests. Delhi is our capital city. All the important people of our country live there. And what has it become? Winters are polluted, summers are unbearable. River pollution is all together another topic. These resources are used by everyone. For example river pollution doesn't affect me directly but it might affect the poor population. As you mentioned, I would request you to make an episode on the environment and development to educate people like me.

I live in Toronto Political Rallies yaha bhi nahi hoti Grocery shopping ke liye trollies sabke paas hain Can go everywhere with strollers, public infra and transport is built for it. There are lots of trees and green areas around. Dust is not an outcome of this.
