Government Against Going Green
With the rising fuel prices, it is completely ridiculous that the Government is not promoting green technology. It continues to heavy tax hybrid vehicles which are an answer to the fuel woes of the country in the new decade, but not surprisingly, the Government taxes these vehicles because of most, or almost of the technical input in these vehicles is imported from other countries. This speaks volumes for the sheer lack of creativity and vision of the Congress-led UPA. It can easily control and reverse the dependence on the OPEC controlled fuel cartel, but here too, I feel a scam could be unearthed. Since playing the country into the hands of a cartel does not make economic sense, but for a privileged bureaucratic few and we all know the reason for this...bottom-line, Corruption with a capital "C".
