Upset that most of its proposals have been ignored by the government, Left reacted to the price hike of petroleum products calling it unjustified and gearing for a "powerful protest movement'.
The government has been deliberating on measures over oil prices through the last fortnight. Meanwhile, the companies' losses rose from Rs 16.34 a litre to Rs 21.43 on each litre of petrol, Rs 23.47 to Rs 31.58 on diesel, Rs 28.72 to Rs 35.98 on kerosene and Rs 305.90 to Rs 352.90 per 14.2-kg cylinder of cooking gas. Together, the three firms are losing Rs 725 crore daily on fuel sales, up from Rs 580 crore.

As more than 20 per cent of the retail outlets of various state-run oil marketing companies in Punjab ran dry today, panic-struck people began hoarding petrol and diesel, wherever available. The situation was worse in rural belts of Amritsar and Jalandhar and in the districts of Bathinda, Barnala and Sangrur, where people began storing diesel in drums. Fearing that the diesel supply would be restricted, paddy cultivators, who require diesel in this season to run the tubewells, were reportedly hoarding huge quantities of diesel.
With increasing prices of fossil fuels across the globe, harnessing of renewable energy resources has assumed significance like never before. The Electricity Act, 2003 has several enabling provisions for promotion of renewable energy resources. However, renewable energy sources such as wind, small hydel, biomass etc are site specific resources, and the policies for promotion have been essentially driven by State specific requirements.
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) is a pioneer among the State Electricity Boards in India in promoting renewable energy programmes. Tamil Nadu is blessed with conductive natural meteological and topographical settings for wind power generation. There are three passes namely 'Palghat Pass', 'Shengottah Pass' and 'Aralvoimozhi Pass' that are endowed with heavy wind flows during the Southwest monsoon.
Grid connectivity does not mean only the physical linking with the state transmission system, but has to fulfill the operational and commercial needs of a power system.
Electricity generation from wind energy is characterised by significant daily and seasonal fluctuations, which is presently being forecasted with a limited certainty only. This gives rise to challenges for interconnection of wind energy system with the grid in regard to system safety security and reliability of electricity supply.

Energy policies are in transition worldwide based on a convergence of factors including static oil production coupled with increased demand, a desire for energy independence, and growing awareness of climate change. Making energy choices that improve human health, the environment, and economic development is possible if we understand the complex interplay between systems for energy delivery and sustainable, healthy human environments.
