Our politicians seem to be always enamoured with such gigantic size projects; may be for obvious unethical reasons.

About 30,000 acres of land lost forever, for any agricultural usage.

The number of dedicated transmission lines (6 to 10 lines), which may have to come up at enormous cost to the society, will be used only for about 20% of the time. What a sheer waste of our resources!

If a cloud cover passes over it at noon of a peak summer day, all the 5,000 MW will be lost to the grid, and it may collapse due to such sudden loss.

A diligent costs and benefits analysis of various options available to us will definitely indicate much better options to harness the solar power in Gujarath and elsewhere too.

But who cares? Only large size and a silly target matters.
