Can solar be the ultimate energy source on Earth?

In my last column I pointed out that solar energy is – with exception of energy derived from nuclear, geothermal, tidal sources – the fundamental source of all energy on earth. Also mentioned was the fact that 90 petawatts – that's 90,000,000,000,000,000 watts for those who like to count the zeroes – of sunlight fall on the earth each day. And if the sunlight falling on earth at six specific locations was converted to electricity, the energy would more than meet current world needs (15 terawatts). So why haven't the governments of Algeria, Australia, Chile, China, Saudi Arabia & USA (the countries in which these locations are present) built solar conversion facilities at these locations? There are a number of technical reasons, but the principal reason is economic.

You can’t run a business without winning trust of your subordinates and that is why many leaders fail...

Sure, these remote leaders attend meetings and other requisite functions, but they’d rather be staring into their computers. And if possible, all the messy, sweaty people stuff would be delegated to HR managers on another floor. Like know-it-alls, this breed of leader is dangerous, but for a different reason. They don’t engage, which means they can’t inspire. That’s a big problem.

A third category of lousy leadership is comprised of bosses who are just plain jerks. As a New York reader wrote us recently, “My boss is abusive, by which I mean disrespectful, finger-pointing and sometimes even paranoid.” Such leaders are usually protected from above because they deliver the numbers. But, with their destructive personalities, they rarely win their people’s trust.

The new tiger…

High growth rate, booming international trade, tame inflation, high employment rate, manageable budget deficit…Phew! Mystified by all these economic indicators, then look to east Europe, a small country- Lithuania. This quiet and latent economy slowly crawled towards development and astonishingly emerged as brightest of all the Baltic States.

After the market crash of 1998, this Baltic Tiger revamped its economic policy and embarked on a developmental drive. Privatisation on large scale was adopted. This was followed by an effective tax collection procedure clubbed with reduction in administrative spending, which not only benefited them in short run but also in long run.

‘Bell’s ring in ‘Canada’

Watch out! As Bell Canada agrees to the terms of being taken over by a private alliance headed by Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. This $48.5 billion deal would mark the principal leveraged ever buyout in Canada. The shareholders’ nod to takeover this Canadian private telecommunications player would create the largest takeover in Canada. The Toronto based pension plan with assets worth $99 billion, invests & manages the retirement funds for Ontario’s 167,000 active & 104,000 retired teachers. With a 6.3% stake, the pension plan happens to be Bell Canada Enterprise’s (BCE) most important shareholder. A leveraged buyout of a mammoth public company by a private partnership, really makes the deal unique. Michael Sabia, Chief Executive, BCE said that the proposal is a 40% premium over the average price for BCE shares during the past year. Chairman, Richard J. Currie further added that the special step is for the shareholders who were always valued. The Group led by the pension plan, managed to outwit several other major bidders including a consortium of New York-based Cerberus Capital Management LP with Hong Kong based billionaire, Richard Li’s, Pacific Century Group & the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board with a backing coming from American buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
