Comments on: The “Chennai” City Wall Project. http://www.vijayanand.name/2008/09/the-chennai-city-wall-project/ Perspectives of an Entrepreneur from the Indian Startup Trenches.

I have always wondered the cutting edges in US and felt guilty why they are not yet in india. There could be reasons for some but for many, it is just the plain attitude of people resisting change that keep us years behind developed nations. Vijay, have you brought up this in chennai or stil the work in progress? Also, regarding solar, I think we still have plenty of resources and alternate ways, Few months back, Scientific american published an article about new type of solar cells, with high output at cheaper cost and plans to establish big solar plants to power major parts of US. On the other end Japan is also trying to launch solar plates in space that could absorb much more solar (rather than lying in earth receiving much less solar radiation) and a way to send the enerty back to earth. So, solar would be probably the next best source for energy. It is interesting to see Vijay trying to do something like many of my kind intend to do as per my understanding.

But who said Solar cells are sustainable. The materials that go into making solar cells are becoming more and more rare. What are we going to do then? Really, we humans have a way of creating large scale mess-ups everywhere :) Suchithra, Perhaps we can. But who said Solar cells are sustainable.

It will also create so much of awareness about using alternative sources of energy and give a really socially "aware" aspect to this project, which shouldnt end with being a "cosmetic" one.

All the best! And of course we could always replicate it in another place And count me in for any help(especially if you plan it for Pondicherry). It would be quite cool if you guys pull it off.

You need a certain density of folks to make use of this... ofcourse we are doing a test launch in some secluded areas before it goes mainstream. @Anil: Where’d be the fun otherwise? :) I’m sure the novelty would wear off eventually.

May be you have to look at some quieter cities. There will be thousands of people rolling hands on this :) Pondicherry will be a great place to try this. This will be great for tourism. Chennai ?
