The document discusses the need to shift to alternative energy sources as fossil fuels are rapidly depleting. It summarizes that coal reserves will last 200 years, oil 20-30 years, and natural gas 40-70 years. Various alternative energy sources are mentioned that could be developed, including solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, tidal, biomass, and synthetic fuels. India has potential to develop hydro, wind, and solar power further to meet energy demands.
