Statement: Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfil its energy requirements?
Arguments:
- Yes, Most of the energy sources used at present is exhaustible.
- No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks in.
Answer: Option A
Clearly, harnessing solar energy will be helpful as it is an inexhaustible resource unlike other resources. So, argument I holds. But argument II is vague as solar energy is the cheapest form of energy.
