Read the opinion piece by Anil Kakodkar that came out today

https://t.co/NXc9OvNUoo

[Premnath V @premnathv6]

Very interesting talk by Anil Kakodkar. Highlights:

-- India needs closed loop nuclear energy leveraging thorium for true energy independence
-- if India needs to reach quality of life of developed countries, it needs to plan for 28000 TWh. India needs 2500 GWe capacity

Global biofuel production has grown sevenfold in the last 20 years, despite the rise of electric cars

In the late 20th century, a handful of countries — led by Brazil and the United States — turned to liquid biofuels to reduce their dependence on foreign oil markets, producing transport fuels from cheap crops instead.

In the early 2000s, interest in biofuels ramped up sharply, and not just in the Americas. They came to be seen as a leading method to decarbonize road transport. This was because today’s alternative to the combustion engine, the electric car, was still far too expensive.

Over the last two decades, global liquid biofuel production has grown sevenfold, as the chart shows.

Electric vehicles are now far cheaper and, in some places, cost-competitive with petrol cars, so biofuels are no longer seen as the central answer to low-carbon transport.

Yet, the world produces more of them than ever, and this is expected to grow over the coming decade, largely due to fuel standards and national policies that have promoted them.

12 semiconductor plants approved in India.

None in MH, TN, KA ????

It may be a good idea to have integrated innovation and manufacturing ecosystems where R&D and mfrg go hand in hand for next generation technologies.

Interesting data to see how the introduction of genetics changes the market
-- prices down
-- volume growth of both innovator and generic
-- overall market size also expanded though not as much as volume growth

Excerpt: "The innovation dimension is perhaps the most crucial one. Manufacturing firms spend heavily on research and development (R&D), generating strong innovation spillovers throughout the economy. In fact, manufacturing is attributed to 53% of global R&D activity. "

[Jostein Hauge @haugejostein]

The notion that developing countries can bypass manufacturing — and leap straight to services instead — ignores how every major economy actually developed.
