Why not make Wind Energy a B -Tech branch in IITs

India is facing acute power crisis. Its going to worsen as fossil fuels get depleted. We have lots of tech issues resolved in the wind power sector, but some still exist. Wind power is growing at a rate of 22% per annum. It needs dedicated techies to work in the industry.
Microsiing, Wind mapping, compnent designing, operation and maintenance, gris connectivity are some of the many subjects that can be in the curriculum.
