Any one source or any two-three source cannot satisfy this demand, so India and China has to use, without default the renewables is the must. Need is there because otherwise the GDP(Gross Domestic Product) growth is not sustainable." 29. Various of wind turbine silhouetted against setting sun LEAD IN: The winds of change are sweeping through parts of rural India. Large wind farms are being seen as a solution to the nation's growing energy needs. STORYLINE: Some of India's energy needs are being met thanks to large-scale wind farms. It is hoped the wind farms will help in reducing the nation's dependence on non-renewable energy sources. Today, about 65 percent of India's electricity needs come from coal. Sinban in Western India is home to nearly 1,300 acres of high-tech windmills set amid tiny farms. The wind farm, visible from miles away, resembles a forest of turbines churning in the breeze. All this has been a big boost to Suzlon, by far the biggest wind player in the country. The blades of the soaring white windmills, the largest ones are 74 meters (242 feet) high, cast long shadows that slash across farm fields.
