Not a priority for journos
If environmental problems are to be solved reporters need to care more about the issue. Piyush Goyal, the Minister for power, coal and new and renewable energy, held a press conference on one year’s performance. He described how the government was fast tracking the LED bulbs rollout, had brought down prices sharply, and stressed repeatedly on how much carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced as a result. The questions that followed the minister’s presentation were on coal block allocations and the government’s gas and power schemes, etc. Not one on the environmental implications of any energy source.
