Detailed Solution

India can reduce its dependence on countries for energy by promoting non-conventional sources and efficient use of resources. India has very diverse weather, climatic conditions, and geographical features that allow the setting up of non-conventional sources of energy, such as windmills and solar panels. Using non-conventional energy reduces pollution, is environmentally friendly and reduces deforestation. Mining is necessary for conventional resources, leading to deforestation and environmental hazards. India's location near the equator and abundant sunlight make solar power plants a smart alternative to thermal power plants. Tidal and wind energy can both be produced in India's coastal regions. Even though there are enough resources, they should be used wisely.
