| Powerless Rosaiah | 23-OCT-09 |
|
| He may have finally won the battle for the chief minister’s job, but Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah is still powerless, or at least he was for an embarrassing 20 minutes on Thursday, and that too in front of visiting US Ambassador Timothy J Roemer. According to a PTI report, Rosaiah, who also holds the energy portfolio in the state, reached the Samatha Block in the secretariat when there was a power breakdown. He was forced to wait in the lobby since the back up power didn’t work either. With the power supply not getting restored, Rosaiah had no option but to wait in the dingy media room and to sit on a rusty iron chair. Since Roemer had arrived by then, he too sat next to Rosaiah and both waited for another 20 minutes or so till the power came back on. |

| Rising fuel costs make biomass energy unattractive | 20-OCT-09 |
|
| Biomass energy developers in Andhra Pradesh have been feeling the pinch of rising fuel prices over the past few months.

| Man-made floods | 13-OCT-09 |
|
| Unlike earthquakes, which can neither be predicted nor prevented, floods are both predictable and, to a large extent, preventable. The country has an elaborate, country-wide flood warning system in place, with two well-equipped central agencies — the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Central Water Commission — charged with this task. Despite this, the receding monsoon has caused devastating floods in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, killing hundreds of people and rendering several million homeless. Heavy precipitation alone cannot be held responsible for this, because this seems to be a case of multi-agency failure. Water inflows into dams were allowed to rise unabated till they became unmanageable and required to be released, regardless of the fact that the entire region was being pounded by an incessant monsoon downpour at the time. The blame for this rests on the managements of the water reservoirs, who mistimed the release of water. |
