"We have just prepared a proposal for 10,000 solar based water systems which supply drinking water to communities in rural areas," Rural development minister Jairam Ramesh said while addressing a conference here.

Microsoft is researching the idea of locating its data centres near landfills and wastewater treatment plants from which they could generate their own power.

Scientists from the University of Southern California have been working on a way to make solar energy more efficient, affordable, and convenient. As with other forms of alternative energy, solar energy is often criticized as having numerous flaws. Researchers from USC believe that some of the problems that are inherent in solar energy systems can be remedied through the development of new solar cells.
