Any engineer can understand clear concept of solar thermal technology to concentrate solar rays by parabolic reflectors. Recently I have undertaken to make solar reflectors of 16 sq mt each. Such 6 reflectors will cost only Rs 3 lakhs. Connecting with it steam engines etc will generate 5kw power. Total investment will be less than 4 lakhs. This means that tiny solar thermal power plant consuming no fuel will be cheaper than giant coal based thermal power plant consuming coal and polluting the planet. So there is no any base to encourage and establish any new coal based thermal power plant or nuclear power plant. Government can verify my claims and immediately should encourage tiny solar thermal power plants and stop any new investment in giant coal based plant. In next 6 months, I hope to commission tiny solar thermal power plant which will be so easy that any road side welder will be able to fabricate solar reflectors and produce solar steam."
