Speaking at an event on the sidelines of COP26 summit, PM Modi said that fossil fuel powered many nations to become wealthy during the industrial revolution, but it made the earth and environment poor.
Emphasising that everything is created from Sun, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called for "One Sun, One World, One Grid" to improve the viability of solar power and announced that space agency ISRO will soon provide the world a calculator that can measure solar energy potential of any region across the globe.
Addressing world leaders at the event "Accelerating Clean Technology Innovation and Deployment" on the sidelines of the climate summit in Glasgow, PM Modi said that fossil fuel powered many nations to become wealthy during the industrial revolution, but it made the earth and environment poor.
"The industrial revolution was powered by fossil fuels. Several countries prospered by the use of fossil fuels but it also left our Earth and environment poorer. The race for fossil fuels also created geopolitical tensions. However, today, technology has presented us with a better alternative," he said.
Citing the "Suryopanishad" during his address, PM Modi said that everything was born from Sun, Sun is the only source of energy and solar energy can take care of everyone.
