Which of the following is the best source of generating electricity in India from the viewpoint of sustainable development?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hydro-electricity. The concept of sustainable development was emphasized by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), which defined it as: "Development that meets the need of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs". Hydropower is fueled by water so it is a clean fuel source. It would not pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas while atomic power plants are always under threat of radiation. So hydro- electricity is the best source of generating electricity when it comes to the sustainable development.
