DW News: Cynical Green



I was listening to this news-video on my way to work, and it had me laughing out loud. Here was a fine sample of the Western media being exposed for its slant, bias and bare-faced hypocrisy.

The title is, of course, misleading - "Does the World Want a Greener India? - International investors view India as both risky and vulnerable". At a time when the words 'risky' and 'vulnerable' would best describe the condition of the West which is confronting a multi-layered crisis emerging from the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Germany's official news agency, DW News, turns its focus on solar energy initiatives in India.

DW Asia Today has a byte from Kartik Sachdeva of Energific Solar,  company that is unable to keep up with the demand for rooftop solar systems in Delhi; it talks of government subsidies to get rural areas to adopt solar energy, and then, and interview with Chandra Bhushan, CEO of iForest. It is this interview that takes the cake :)

The interviewer wants to know - "Does India have the financial responsibility, the transparency and viability...to convince international investors that it is the place to invest?"

Do listen.
