Dear Parag,
Nice. I am very much impressed with your critical analysis and presentation. Interesting to say with realistic approach "Time will answer whether this project would be successful in due course"..
Thank you Dr. Ahmad for providing the valuable information in the attached PDF.
Time will answer whether this project would be successful in due course.
However I think to share few things in this aspect.
Harnessing solar energy is in profuse in India. Though the pricing of solar-enabled electrical devices (lights, fans,solar chargers, water heaters etc.) is not too much pocket-friendly, yet these solar devices are finding profuse use in many rural and suburban areas. Even people from the lower economic class are also affording these solar devices in India and use them as a primary source of power in their homes where thermal electricity is not profuse.
Again, nuclear energy has faced severe implementation threats in India. Different protests are rising from areas claiming severe harm in the local environment and biodiversity.
Though nuclear power has a higher efficiency than solar power, it has a major issue regarding cleanliness and adverse effect on environment.
In this aspect Solar power stands as a "Green energy" and one of the cleanliest ways to power.
I think this area of solar power needs proper encouragement over nuclear energy.

Dear Afaq Ahmad,
The sun, as is known, is the primary and major source of energy for our planet. It heats the entire Earth, resulting in the movement of the river and the wind force.
Under its rays grows 1 quadrillion tons of plants, feeding, in turn, 10 billion tons of animal and bacteria. Thanks to the Sun on the ground accumulated reserves of hydrocarbons, ie oil, coal, peat, etc. To today, mankind has been able to meet its energy needs, it is required in a year about 10 billion tons of fuel equivalent.
Now note that if the energy supplied by the sun on the planet for a year, transferred to the same conventional fuel, this figure will amount to about 100 trillion tons.
Regards, Shafagat
If "harnessing" means making the sun's power as being available and regulated in the same amount and manner that we do fossil fuels, recent developments show mankind can. But the resource needs will shift to the raw materials required in the manufacturing of direct solar cell and batteries and storage batteries.
Dear Dr. Eddie Seva See
..... as scientists see if they can jointly harness the power of the Sun by literally confining it in a steel bottle .... is the main theme of this project..
