LPG troubles should push govt to free India from overseas dependency. Use LPG subsidy to subsidise new kitchen-use products for the poor. And to meet higher power demand, use Indian coal smartly
India should cook on electricity, generated from domestic renewables and coal, not imported hydrocarbons, whether liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas distributed to consumers as piped natural gas (PNG). Here is how to go about it.
In the kitchen
We need to cook on induction cooktops, not the traditional heaters in which a heating coil snakes around inside the grooves of a ceramic plate, not even infrared stovetops. When a heating source is placed below the cooking vessel, the heat transfer takes place through radiation. About 60% of the radiant heat is wasted.
