The Day After Tomorrow
Starting before industrialised Germany and the UK, India has perhaps promoted renewables the longest though a dedicated establishment. The country's Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) is one of its kind in the world. India has the fifth largest installed wind capacity in the world at 2400 MW. In 2003 alone, India added 615 MW of wind energy. By March 2003, it had 484 MW of installed biomass power/zcogeneration, 53 MW from biomass gasifiers and 2.5 MW of solar PVs.

India and Global Climate Change belongs to that happy genre of books that are written pedantically and don't make many concessions for lay readers. But if you persevere you will be rewarded because the subject itself is so gripping.
