I'm a journalist based out of the United States. I'm doing a story on clean energy developments in Vizag and Visakhapatnam for Hakai magazine, an international magazine about coastal environments, and I admire your blog and your thoughtful commentary in The Hindu Times.
I'm wondering, can I ask you a few questions about what's going on there? Especially in regards to industrial efforts crossing against conservation efforts. I'd like to get your insight on how technologies like floating solar farms are being implemented in practice, in a day-to-day way. I'm also curious as to your take on the scope of problems like water pollution in Visakhapatnam, and whether we should be optimistic or pessimistic.
