When there is light or energy people work. People sleep when there is no light. Such is the law of nature. Nature has bestowed us adequate means to harness energy which we are not able to do. We entirely depend on government to provide us energy. The flop show will continue. We have to look for other sources. Big projects are not feasible as we can not afford to waste other resources and land. Even if we hate our neighbour China fo many reasons we are thankful to the great nation for illegally supplying cheap power sources like battery, recharegeable lamps etc. Sale of candle have climbed down in Manipur after the heavy import of the illegal alternate source. The government of India should seriously start working on this line. The solar panels issued through some agencies in the state adorn residences of government officials while it is doubted if the beneficiaries include the common masses forget about the poor. Energy has become a global concern and hence the government should ensure that people have easy access to the schemes to provide alternative source of energy. Inverter and other products in our country are costly compared to products coming from neighbouring countries. Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology, international semiconductor consortium SEMATECH and Texas State University have suggested that use of new methods and materials for building integrated circuits can reduce power—extending battery life to 10 times longer for mobile applications compared to conventional
transistors.The key to the breakthrough is a tunneling field effect transistor. Transistors are switches that control the movement of electrons through material to conduct the electrical currents needed to run circuits.Unlike standard transistors, which are like driving a car over a hill, the tunneling field effect transistor is more like tunneling through a hill, said Sean Rommel, associate professor of electrical and microelectronic engineering.“The tunneling field effect transistors have not yet demonstrated a sufficiently large drive current to make it a practical replacement for current transistor technology,” Rommel
sserted, “but this work conclusively established the largest tunneling current ever experimentally demonstrated, answering a key question about the viability of tunneling field effect transistor technology.”Such methods can be used in our energy starved state . Whatever the government takes up we have to ensure that people get the benefit.
