India's Air Crisis: 200 Years To Go For Clean Energy, Says Stanford Study

On this special report, the focus is on a new global study from Stanford University which highlights India's slow progress in transitioning to clean energy. The speaker notes that at the current pace, 'India may reach 100% clean renewable energy in the year... 2212, 200 years from now'. The report details how major contributors like vehicular emissions and dependence on fossil fuels are slowing the shift. In a striking contrast, China is projected to achieve a full transition to clean energy by 2051, more than a century and a half before India. The speaker concludes that when the sources and solutions for pollution are known, the persistent crisis becomes a 'reflection of political choices', suggesting India is deferring clean air to generations not yet born.
