Sun / wind/bio materials  are the resources not amenable to favours of the cartels.Rest all resources are.

CSP is the future of solar energy use and these plants will be increasingly used for energy security and independence.There are drawbacks in storing energy buit still it is much better solution. A s these plants increase in no ,a time will come when they would produce electricity cheaper than any other resource..

Sooner or later storage problem will also be resolved.Coupled with reengineering of  energy consuming equipment this is definetely a very feasibile solution  far  better than Nuclear power for instance.

This also the technology for which technical personnel can be easily trained even in remote and rural areas.

Ringing urban settlements with such plants is a very  potential idea whose time appears to have come.
