A cautionary tale for a world racing into renewables: The large majority of mini-grids in India no longer work, an environmental group found.

About 4,000 solar mini-grids have been installed in India, of which 3,300 are government financed and owned. Only 5% of the government grids are operational.

I just woke up and thought that read: “Indiana Jones: Rush To Renewables” and was confused for a second.

I asked ChatGPT to write a movie summary based on this:

Indiana Jones and the Rush to Renewables

In the film "Indiana Jones and the Rush to Renewables," famed archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is called upon for a mission unlike any he has undertaken before. The Indian government, which has recently initiated a massive renewable energy project, is on the verge of a crisis. Newly installed solar panels in rural areas across India, the linchpin of this green revolution, are failing mysteriously and rapidly, jeopardizing the country's sustainable future and the livelihood of millions.

The government, suspecting foul play, invites Jones, renowned for his problem-solving abilities and knack for adventure. He embarks on a journey through the colorful landscapes of rural India, exploring age-old temples, bustling markets, and breathtaking mountain terrains, all the while attempting to solve the riddle of the failing solar panels.

Along the way, Jones uncovers a nefarious plot by an unscrupulous corporation intending to sabotage India's renewable energy efforts to maintain their monopoly over the energy sector. With the help of a brilliant young Indian scientist, an energy activist, and a troupe of loyal friends, Jones must outsmart the corporation, decode a series of cryptic clues rooted in Indian history, and unravel the technical mystery behind the solar panel failures.

In a thrilling climax, Jones and his team confront the corporate villains, exposing their plot and finding the solution to restore the solar panels, ensuring a brighter and greener future for India. "Indiana Jones and the Rush to Renewables" weaves together the charm of classic Indiana Jones adventure with modern environmental issues, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest treasure is a sustainable future for all.
