So they turned off the lights and that’s supposed to be progress? lol
This sounds nice but I bet nothing changes for regular people. Like they’ll talk solar for a day and the electricity bills stay the same.
Wait, I thought Goa’s big on wind power not solar. Are they just switching because they ran out of funding? Also “storage expo” sounds like batteries for cars??
Good for them, but these expos always feel like awards for connections. If they really want “renewable agenda,” where’s the part about jobs in small towns and actually installing systems, not just panels and networking? Also Novotel Panjim like… is this just for hotel-level business folks?
