Statement: Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfil its energy requirements?

Arguments:

  1. Yes, Most of the energy sources used at present is exhaustible.
  2. No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks in.

Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong
