Coal Storage in India are Decreasing- What is Our Future

Its time to face the reality. We are still planning to set newer thermal power stations. Life span of a thermal power station is 25 yrs. And after remodeling, it works for another 15 yrs. So the power station that will start working from 2010, its life span will be ended by 2050. But what will happen, if coal storage is finished before that? According to a estimate of planning commission, coal storage will end in another 45 yrs. And to import coal is very costly thing and financially impossible. Most of the people thinks that those days are very remote, and we have a storage of about 200 yrs. But the reality is not that bright. Now coal mines are situated in 1470 sq. km area, 15% of this land is occupied by forest and habitation. So it will be difficult to extract all the stored coal. So we have to look for the alternate source of energy.Solar electricity and nuclear electricity is our future, and it will be best if we accept this reality as soon as possible!
