The World’s Biggest Coal Company Is Turning To Solar Energy To Lower Its Utility Bill

The World's Biggest Coal Company Is Turning To Solar Energy To Lower Its Utility Bill | ThinkProgress
Quote:
This is a remarkable statement from the largest coal company in the world. Coal India produces 90 percent of India’s coal, and not only is it turning to solar as an efficient business practice, it understands India cannot power itself by coal. ...............................

Even so, solar energy is cheap and thriving in India. According to the government, solar power could be cheaper than coal by next year. All of this potential is bringing foreign investment to India. U.S. solar manufacturer First Solar is looking to increase its exports in the next three years enough to raise its market share from 20 percent to 25 percent. Chinese and European solar firms are the main competition with U.S. and domestic Indian solar companies. The U.S. is fighting to keep that market share open in the face of possible rules that require solar energy firms to buy inputs from domestic manufacturers.
I thought India had some nuclear power too, is that right?
