delhi power woes

Every once in a while u hear people harping about it. Rajdhani mein bijlee ki problem. This time it was from my brothers' prospective father in law. He whines about power cuts all the time. They could happen at a critical time. I hope not to experience a monsoon wedding like situation. The lights just went out. Hopefully it is a wire trip but god forbid it could be another 6 hour power cut. What if it happens in the summer at formidable temperatures of 40 C and above ? How do delhiites chill in the summers. Maybe they do not. Relatedly, what about people who cannot afford generators or trips to barista. Uttaranchal might have helped but the capital city and much of the north indian hinterland is still quite powerless. Maybe parabolic concentrators are the solution. Maybe thin film PV's which are around the corner. They could help reduce the cost of solar conversion consuming land and wall space instead of expensive silicon. It is such an embarrassment that our rajdhani unlike for example Kuala Lumpur breathes heavily at every picture perfect moment. Rings are about to be exchanged. Pepole are waiting with bated breath. Bhagwan, aur dus saal power mat dena par abhi mat kaatna.
