India’s AI Ambitions Depend on Getting Solar Policies Right

India wants to grow its artificial intelligence industry.

Solar power could help provide the electricity needed for that growth.

Some factories in Maharashtra had changed their systems so that half of their power came from solar energy.

New rules that apply to the past may make those factories reduce their solar use.

If they use less solar power, they may need more electricity from the utility.

That electricity at night will probably be made using fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels can create more pollution than solar power.

The article says India needs to set its solar policies carefully so it can get the most from its solar expansion.
