so how does getting the answer right or wrong shows u attended a public /private school??
It is just another way of discrediting the private schools. I already busted one IDIÖT above. They crafted the topic so they can show up claiming to be private sch grads while giving wrong answers.

The offer is real. I got the sms from MTN. Decided not to go for it as I prefer My current N100 for 100MB & 12MIN calls for 7 days offer.

I don't even get it, why can't all other states put up their own renewable power plants?
renewable solar energy is more favourable to the northern states cos they have better sunshine than their southern counterpart. The southern states like Lagos n Rivers tried gas-fired plants but they must pump the power generated into the national grid. This is so cos they can't afford a whole new transmission or distribution system that will run side-by-side with the nation's own distribution system. The north on the other hand have the option of building smaller units of transmission system that will serve remote settlements.

Politics › Re: India Says The Cost Of Solar Power Is Now Cheaper Than Coal by Standing5(op): 12:26am On Jul 13, 2016
This year, solar energy prices in the country dropped to around parity with coal for the first time ever, hitting 4.34 rupees (about 6 US cents) a kilowatt-hour (kWh), while coal tariffs range usually range in between 3–5 rupees/kWh (about 5–8 US cents).
While our own GenCo are scheming to double power rate others are pushing theirs down realistically. 5-8 cents translates to N16-25 (Using N320/$ exchange rate).
Politics › India Says The Cost Of Solar Power Is Now Cheaper Than Coal by Standing5(op):
To anybody who's been reading the headlines on investment into clean energy production, it's clear that India has been heavily backing solar power. In recent times, the nation has unveiled a string of ambitious solar projects, including the world's first 100 percent solar-powered airport and what is slated to become the world's largest solar power station.

One of the consequences of all this ongoing investment in infrastructure is that the cost of providing solar power in India is becoming increasingly affordable – to the point where the country's energy minister, Piyush Goyal, now says that solar power is a more cost-effective option than the old fossil-fuel staple, coal.


"I think a new coal plant would give you costlier power than a solar plant," Goyal told the media at a press conference in India on Monday. "Of course there are challenges of 24/7 power. We accept all of that – but we have been able to come up with a solar-based long term vision that is not subsidy based."

That vision is part a national plan for to generate more than 100 gigawatts of solar power by 2022 – an ambitious target that's about 20 times beyond the current level solar provides in India.

But what could help make it happen is the falling price of solar power. This year, solar energy prices in the country dropped to around parity with coal for the first time ever, hitting 4.34 rupees (about 6 US cents) a kilowatt-hour (kWh), while coal tariffs range usually range in between 3–5 rupees/kWh (about 5–8 US cents).

And if the price keeps falling at a similar rate, it will soon drop significantly below coal, with some saying that by 2020, solar could be as much as 10 percent cheaper than coal power.

If that does happen, it would be a major turning point in a country where access to electricity is still not universal. Inconsistencies in the country's power grid mean many of India's cities are subject to blackouts and brownouts, and up to a quarter of the population – some 300 million people – have no access to electricity.

Cheaper electricity sourced from the expansion of solar plants across the country could help make for a better, more reliable grid, and one that's less harmful to Indians and the environment at large.

"There are reasons to push solar beyond its low price – it's a much healthier option in a country that is home to 13 of the world's 20 most polluted cities," explains Huizhong Wu at CNN Money. "The environmental benefits of solar will be even more pronounced if its rise comes at the expense of coal, which currently makes up 60 percent of India's energy production. India's coal has a high ash content, and it releases toxins and metals into the air when burned."

Let's hope this momentum behind solar keeps up in India, and that reliance on coal can be reduced as soon as possible. It's the only way to go.

The right energy mix for Nigeria should include solar panels. Reasons being;
-we have impressive sunshine
-we need it to power our day time power needs
-it can be deployed on small scale basis for remote settlements
-it is cleaner
-the gas fired alternatives have been hijacked by powerful cabals.
It doesn't need gas pipelines that are being vandalised.

Who did this to you people? grin grin
Even tho his message is a hate inspired one there is sense in it. Same people who opposed the southern states when they attempted same type of project that will meet their local needs now want to do their own off-grid power project. Rivers, Lagos and Delta all stop their own because they can't have the power generated to themselves alone under the law.

Any electricity generated must be transferred to the national grid. That's the craziness of Nigeria
That's the part that has forced more forward thinking states like Lagos, Delta and Rivers to lag behind in their quest for stable power supply. If 6 more northern states can generate their own 100MW, i can tell u that in no time they understand how it feels the bear the burden of backward thinking parasitic states and support the idea of off-grid power projects to address local needs of states or region.
