Decentralization which goes
in favor of market, means survival of the fittest, will flush out competition
sooner or later, and is not very different from centralization, again, a kind
of monopoly, in which government dictates the terms and often revenues are
important. But, actually, they are revenue minus subsidy or subsidized-revenue.
So, the price movements of all the firms are almost predictable, upwards or
downwards, mostly upwards and rarely downwards, depending on the consumption
patterns responsible for business-cycles and of-course during recession they go
down, but India wasn’t severely hit so the effect was almost negligible. And,
also because lower levels of demand as compared to developed regions of the
world. But it won’t be like this too long and i’am sure I will not. Cartels are
also responsible for similar price movements, and, for a common man that’s why
they are cartels. But, market, as mentioned above, means survival of the
fittest, where survival is not a very difficult term to understand but
“fittest” need some explanation. It refers to, as far as, i think, most
efficient – lowest cost, lowest price, and content with the margin as long cost
does change wile maintaining a capacity (a sub-optimal point, for economists)
–firm. Capacity to absorb demand side shocks. And, such a thing is possible
only under Perfect Competition, for layman, price-competition with maximum
number of firms. Actually, as far as, the regions enjoying monopoly over
energy-resources are relishing nature’s monopoly, and as a, whole we are all
doing the same. But nature has also suggested the use of JATROPHA ;ent of
India, Dr. Abdul Kalam, is one of the strong advocaters of Jatropha cultivation
for production of bio-diesel.[4] In his recent speech, the Former President
said that out of the 6,00,000 km² of waste land that is available in India over
3,00,000 km² is suitable for Jatropha cultivation. Once this plant is grown the
plant has a useful lifespan of several decades. During it life Jatropha
requires very little water when compared to other cash crops. For plan for
supplying incentives to encourage the use of Jatropha has been implemented.”

“The hardy Jatropha is
resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing 27-40% oil
[2](average: 34.4% [3]). The remaining press cake of jatropha seeds after oil
extraction could also be considered for energy production[4].”

The plan to use
Jatropha should outpace our regular plans and policies, if the debate has to
end.
LET’S BE HOPEFULL!!!
