Clean Electric Power
India
could achieve Clean Energy by building and operating 1,600 Thorium,
Uranium, or Mirror Power Plants. The power
plants would be located
where the energy demand is the highest to reduce the cost of transmission
lines. Three
manufacturing facilities would build three power plant per week or 150
per year. After ten to fifteen years, China could export the power plants to other countries.
| Thorium
& Uranium Power Plants
would be 50% efficient and generate clean electricity cheaper than
coal or about 3 cents per kilowatt. If process energy were used in people?s homes and
businesses, the power plant?s efficiency could increase to 85%. Chemical
companies could use process energy to make petroleum and consumer
products.
A
1,200 Megawatt power plant, for example, would burn a metric ton of thorium or uranium
and would generate 10 Billion kilowatt-hours of electricity that is
worth
$1 billion at 10 cent per kilowatt. Power plant would reprocess the fuel onsite. The metric
ton of waste would have 300-year lifetime compared to 10,000 to
100,000 years from nuclear power plants.
India's has and estimated 846,000
tons of
natural thorium that could supply their clean energy needs for
thousands of years.

| Mirror Power Plants are three times more efficient
than existing power plants. Matter
and mirror matter are converted into Mirror Energy according to the
mass times the speed of light squared. Using the same example, a
1,200 Megawatt power plant would use 200 grams of mirror fuel and
would generate 10 billion kilowatt hours of electricity with an
estimated value of $1 billion at 10 cent per kilowatt.
Existing fossil
power plants could be upgraded. This would save both time and money
by utilizing the existing infrastructure. After the power plants
become operational, the existing builds, cooling towers, etc would
be demolished. The excess property make available for homes,
businesses, schools, and parks.
There is mirror matter to supply the World's energy needs for
billions of years.

| Hydroelectric, Solar,
and Wind Hydroelectric
power supplies 17%
of the country's electricity or 114
Trillion watts-hours. India could exploit their hydro
potential of about 84,000 MW with a 60% load factor.
|
| Intelligent
Grid would
be developed for managing and distribution the clean energy from the
power plants. An Intelligent Grid is used because the demand for electrical power
would be flat throughout
the day and night.

Carbon
dioxide emissions
levels are low. India should be building clean energy power
plants and transportation system to avoid the problem China has the
coal power plants.

Economics In the United
States, a 1,200 Megawatt
power plant would cost
about $1 billion. The
actual cost of the power plant would depend upon cost of production
in China. China could offer companies a Tax Incentive that would enable
companies to depreciate the new power plants over five years and
have a five-year payback. After five years, the cash flow could be
taxed at 50% and generate tax revenue.

U.S.
Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Power is currently
working with the Generation
IV International Forum,
an international
collaboration on the next generation of nuclear power plants to meet the
World?s future clean energy needs. The Office
of Nuclear Power
help with support from the World Nuclear
Association
could enable
India in construct three manufacturing facilities and building
the 1,600 Thorium, Uranium or Mirror Energy Power Plants.
