India, the Janus Energy Sovereign

Abstract

Abstract India is at an innovation crossroads in which it can choose between staying on its well-worn path of an incremental imitation of mature technologies developed elsewhere or becoming an innovator in the bio-digital energy paradigm. India has an incentive to do the latter because climate models suggest it and its region will be one of the most severely affected by climate change. India has launched the “Solar India” mission, but it has also opened its coal sector to private firms. India like China is undergoing a monumental urbanization. It could use its cities to urbanize innovation. India, with its successful high-tech experience in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and information technology, along with its large population of poor people, could combine high technology with the value of frugality.
