520			_aRapid economic development has taken place in the past hundred years all over the world. All these developments have been possible only by the use of energy. Energy is considered to be basis of life as what food is to the human beings. Among the variable sources of energy which is available electricity is considered to the most visible one and it is positively correlated with the development of the economy. It is true that the percapita consumption of power has increased manifold in the last few years, from 354.75 KWh in (1999-2000) to about 704 K Wh in (2007-2008) (1.e.)about 100% increase in the consumption of power in just eight years. This is true that it is a positive indicator of economic development, but no doubt we have all developed on carbon and the price which is to be paid is relatively very high, which is in the form of global warming resulting in climate change. The reason is the growing demand of electricity to a larger extent is met out only from burning the fossil fuels, resulting in the emissions of Green House Gases and increasing the temperature and ultimately leading to climate change.
