Is population explosion a boon or a curse? For the
European developed countries like Spain and Italy, where the
population is decreasing, this might be considered, as a
boon.

Introduction
Economic Development /growth is a recent historical phenomenon.
In 1776, when Adam Smith published An Inquiry into the Nature and
causes of the Wealth Nations, 75% of the Humanity lived on less than
a dollar a day and the average per Capita Income was about U.S $ 550
(ie, 550 U.S. Dollars).

Another way in which renewable protect the environment is through
utilization of waste. Also there is an urgent need to energy efficiency
especially in industries like Iron, steel, refineries, cement, chemical, etc.
So the need of the hour, is to meet the energy needs of all
segments of Indias population in the most efficient and cost effective
manner while ensuring long-term sustainability.
The energy policy of the Government, aims to ensure adequate
energy supplies at minimum possible costs, achieving self sufficiency in
Energy supplies and protecting the Environment from adverse impact
due to utilization of energy resources.

3. The key issues that define the shape and future of energy in
Indian cities.
42
Three key issues that are likely to define the shape and future of
energy in cities are the following.
Sustainability :- How much and at what rate is energy
consumed, and its effect on long term sustainability, the
quality and quantity of available alternative/renewable
forms of energy, and the effect of existing energy on the global
environment as a whole.
Efficiency :- The technology, planning & management of energy
systems, that will facilitate efficient use of energy for human
activity.
Equity :- The appropriate financial mechanism, for research,
development and use of finite and alternative, energy forms and
their equitable distribution for all human kind.
