The ongoing power crisis across Tamilnadu has created a new
concern for diesel availability. Ever since the power shortage started there is
a sharp surge in quantity of diesel sold. This diesel consumption surge is due to
usage of diesel for generators. Many industries depend on power for mass
production of their goods. Because of non availability of power they are forced
to operate industries with influence of diesel generators. The subsidy provided
to diesel is again misused for purposes other than transportation of
commodities. This will lead to additional import of crude oil which in turn adds
burden to the oil companies which is already reeling under potential losses.
The government need to shell out few dollars in addition to compensate for the
misuse of subsidies. Continuous use of diesel for power generation will lead to
increase in diesel prices and the basic commodity prices will also rise in parallel
to It leaving aam aadhmi in the dark.
The regulation authorities also need to draw certain lines to curb this misuse of subsidy.
It is high time that we all should learn to use the resources
in the best possible way. The burning of diesel for generating electricity is
adding to pollution woes. The solar energy which is abundant and is the
limelight for our future generations is highly untapped. Why don’t we focus on
using this energy which is abundant and green to the environment?
