The Hindu Business Line : Fuel price hike

The huge increase in energy consumption and thecorresponding population increase and slow progress in the development of alternative sources of energy such as hydrogen, tidal energy, nuclear fusion, are among the factors contributing to the global rise in prices.

Efficient use of coal, oil, gas and electricity and minimising wastage is the cheapest and most economical option now. Other options could include adopting a better national energy policy, effectively checking large-scale theft of electricity, coal and other fuels.
