Manmohan: renewable energy capacity will double by 2017 [1]

Goal for stabilising global temperatures nowhere in sight, he laments

India had launched a new initiative to double the renewable energy capacity to 55,000 MW by 2017 by exploiting non-conventional energy sources such as solar, wind power and energy from biomass, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said here on Wednesday. Delivering the inaugural address at the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial here, Dr. Singh however, expressed serious concern at the “painfully slow” progress of climate change talks. He regretted that the goal of stabilising global temperatures at acceptable levels was nowhere in sight.
