Money is bacteria!

Literally each currency note like this carries millions of germs. But as we all love money so much we forget to wash our hands after handling cash.  Researches  have repeatedly proved this fact. It is better that we do take some precautions after we handle currency notes.

Lies Unlimited!

Indian media goes to people selling always lies. One such big lie is about the loss of 7 lakh crore wealth of investors. How did they earn this much wealth? They carried heavy gunny bags of rice or paddy! They walked along the rail tracks during night and day or on stormy days and earned this money. They sat on roadsides and  mended shoes and minted money! Just this is gambling permitted by the society to cater to some lazy people, who make money with a click of a mouse.   Bubbles do burst. The cunning media won't write a single word when sensex gains in crores.
The share market is not shared by all.
Nothing to worry.
Millions of farmers and industrial workers are on their job. This city game or cheating game has got nothing to do with the hammer,  sickle or a tiller or a Rickshaw puller... who continue to till and pull the Indian economy.

Shelter for the poor

The world over providing housing for all their citizens have become a big problem for most of the nations.  The reasons for this big tragic fiasco are many. People were taught to hate hard work and love no work. Today's kids are of the view that currency can be given by ATM machines and  food or any requirement through Google. For them all will be available at the click of a mouse or a touch of a mobile screen. The present day is almost similar to the days of Charles Dickens of Industrial Revolution. 

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way."

I think a similar or exact history is seen again now. Then the revolution was limited to a few countries in Europe. Today the mouse is gliding everywhere. Really the machines are well connected and the peoples' heart as usual remain disconnected. Men and women around the world have started to see the world through the net. No more mirrors that show their faces. Either they see their faces or others' faces on face book or with any other trick. Human dwellings have grown taller and the humanity shorter. In the by gone days, journey was performed by travelers for  learning and today it is for earning. A typical middle class man/woman travels two hours a day and 10 hours in a week and  it is about 2 years of his life for a period of 35 years service. This journey time for the millions across the world would be much more and their valuable, precious life time is lost in just sitting or suffering through the journey.

Even today there are billions with minimum requirements. They have mastered the art of happy living.  For these noble souls just food grains are enough to keep them happy and contented. All the ills that afflict us is the direct consequence of  naked materialism. People want 'more' and 'more' in anything and everything. This shameless hunger for materials and artificial, temporary happiness have made the earth a sad place for the majority. The innumerable temples built hundreds of years ago in India stand a testimony that people were contented with what they had.

For instance the best literature in Tamil language,  the best architecture in the Tamil land, the best art in the Tamil area, the best tunes or ragas are already there. We are not even gifted with a knowledge to read understand and enjoy... leave alone producing such literature again or building such temples of stone. Our History proves people had leisure and led a life of contentment. 

The largest house in the village would be of God's only. They had environment friendly materials for construction and every one had a roof over their heads.

Today information is there with everyone but not knowledge.  The house is full of white goods and some humans and their ears plugged with music.  This is not to wail over. A return to our natural ways of living only can save us from  this polythene and carbon earth.

  

Eco-friendly walls

The palm trees are one of the sturdiest ones. We used to use these trees for multiple purposes. But today I came to know that these black cats can act as a barrier  against erosion. These natural walls are nice to look at and eco friendly too.

Bill's Pill for Clean Energy

Turning the Future Green 

We Need Clean-Energy Innovation, and Lots of It

By Bill Gates 

Last month, during a trip to Europe, I mentioned that I plan to invest $1 billion in clean energy technology over the next five years. This will be a fairly big increase over the investments I am already making, and I am doing it because I believe that the next half-decade will bring many breakthroughs that will help solve climate change. As I argued in this 2010 TED talk, we need to be able to power all sectors of the economy with sources that do not emit any carbon dioxide.

But when it comes to preventing the worst effects of climate change, the investments I make will matter much less than the choices that governments make. In Europe I got to talk about these choices with several political leaders, and in this post I want to share the steps that I encouraged them to take.

I think this issue is especially important because, of all the people who will be affected by climate change, those in poor countries will suffer the most. Higher temperatures and less-predictable weather would hurt poor farmers, most of whom live on the edge and can be devastated by a single bad crop. Food supplies could decline. Hunger and malnutrition could rise. It would be a terrible injustice to let climate change undo any of the past half-century’s progress against poverty and disease—and doubly unfair because the people who will be hurt the most are the ones doing the least to cause the problem.

In addition to mitigating climate change, affordable clean energy will help fight poverty. Although the Gates Foundation does not fund energy research (my investments are separate), we see through our work with the poorest how the high price of energy affects them by adding to the cost of transportation, electricity, fertilizer, and many other things they need.

I do see some encouraging progress on climate and energy. Environmental advocates deserve credit for getting climate change so high on the world’s agenda. Many countries are committing to put policies in place that reflect the impact of greenhouse gases. The cost of solar photovoltaic cells has dropped by nearly a factor of ten over the past decade, and batteries that store energy created by intermittent sources like solar and wind are getting more powerful and less expensive. Since 2007 the United States has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions nearly 10 percent. Since 1990 Germany hasreduced its energy-sector emissions by more than 20 percent.

World leaders will take another critical step this December at a major meeting in Paris called COP21, where they will discuss plans to reduce global CO2 emissions significantly. COP21 can build a strong foundation for solving the climate crisis—but we will need to go even further.

Scientists generally agree that preventing the worst effects of climate change requires limiting the temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius, and that doing so requires the biggest emitters to cut emissions 80 percent by 2050 and all countries to essentially eliminate them by the end of the century. Unfortunately, while we can make progress with today’s tools, they cannot get us to an 80 percent reduction, much less 100 percent. To work at scale, current wind and solar technologies need backup energy sources—which means fossil fuels—for windless days, long periods of cloudy weather, and nighttime. They also require much more space; for example, to provide as much power as a coal-fired plant, a wind farm needs more than 10 times as much land.

These are solvable problems. If we create the right environment for innovation, we can accelerate the pace of progress, develop and deploy new solutions, and eventually provide everyone with reliable, affordable energy that is carbon free. We can avoid the worst climate-change scenarios while also lifting people out of poverty, growing food more efficiently, and saving lives by reducing pollution.  To create this future we need to take several steps: 

Create Incentives for Innovation

One step is to lay the foundation for innovation by drastically increasing government funding for research on clean energy solutions. Right now, the world spends only a few billion dollars a year on researching early-stage ideas for zero-carbon energy. It should be investing two or three times that much.

Why should governments fund basic research? For the same reason that companies tend not to: because it is a public good. The benefits to society are far greater than the amount that the inventor can capture. One of the best examples of this is the creation of the Internet. It has led to innovations that continue to change our lives, but none of the companies who deliver those innovations would ever have built it. Similarly, the government’s research into hydraulic fracturing helped create today’s natural gas boom.

Expanding the government’s support for energy research will lead to another important step: attracting more private investment to the field. As early-stage ideas progress, private capital will pour in to build the companies that will deliver those ideas to market. We need hundreds of companies working on thousands of ideas, including crazy-sounding ones that don’t get enough funding, such as high-altitude wind and solar chemical (using the energy of the sun to make hydrocarbons). No one knows which of these technologies will prove powerful enough and easy to scale, so we should be exploring all of them.  

My own personal investments include companies working on new batteries and other storage methods and advances in solar technology. The nuclear design I am investing in would be safer than previous designs and would go a long way toward solving the nuclear waste problem. I spend a lot of time with the CEOs and scientists at all these companies discussing how to build a business around an innovative idea and take a product to market. If government research budgets open up the pipeline of innovation, not only will I expand my investments, but I believe other investors would join me in taking these risks.

Governments need to act quickly, because energy transitions take time. Today, renewables account for less than 5 percent of the world’s energy mix. It took four decades for oil to go from 5 percent of the world’s energy supply to 25 percent. Natural gas took even longer. I believe we can make this transition faster—both because the pace of innovation is accelerating, and because we have never had such an urgent reason to move from one source of energy to another. The sooner we start, the more suffering we can prevent.

Develop Markets That Help Get to Zero

Another important step will be to ensure that the energy market accurately reflects the full impact of emitting carbon. Today the market is not factoring in what economists call the negative externalities—the health costs, environmental damage, and so on. If the market takes these into account, renewable energy will be more competitive with fossil fuels, which will attract more innovators to the field. Many countries and states are experimenting with different ways to price carbon. Whatever approach we take, it should create incentives to develop new energy solutions while also giving energy companies enough certainty to plan and execute the transition to zero-carbon sources.

We can also be smarter about how we use subsidies. The IMF estimates that direct subsidies for fossil fuels amount to nearly $500 billion a year worldwide, shielding consumers from their true costs. Some subsidies for deploying renewable energy are also very inefficient, creating big incentives to install solar panels where it’s often not sunny or wind turbines where it’s not windy. We should be looking for ways to reduce these subsidies and invest the savings in the basic R&D that will help solve the problem.

Treat Poor Countries Fairly

Unfortunately, even if we could roll out the ideal zero-carbon solution tomorrow, some climate change is inevitable, and it will hit the world’s poor the hardest. The countries that have done the most to cause this problem have a responsibility to not only invest in mitigation, but also help poor countries adapt to a changing climate. For our part, the Gates Foundation is concentrating on one key aspect of adaptation: helping small farmers—who make up the majority of the world’s poor—adjust to hotter, more unpredictable weather by raising agricultural productivity. I will be writing more about this work later this year.

As for next steps, I’m optimistic that the spotlight of the COP meeting in Paris will help motivate governments to step up their research budgets. In my view, innovation is essential to human progress. Some people would say that it is the lens I use to look at every problem, and I have to admit that there is some truth to that. But I believe it is justified by history. In my lifetime innovation has helped eradicate one deadly disease (smallpox) and put us on the brink of a second (polio). We have cut the fraction of children who die every year by a factor of four. Digital technology has revolutionized the way people live. We can create a zero-carbon future too, if we commit to it.
