Nuke Deal!!!.......Now a days it seems that nothing is important but the civil nuke co-operation with US...I am not against this deal but in my view the government should not haste for such a significant issue regarding energy......there are some points i would like to put in this debate which are preventing me for favouring this deal fully.....
Firstly,the govt. is pursuing the pact on grounds of energy requirements,But if we try to look towards other renewable sources of energy like wind power(which is about 7200MW against 4120MW of nuclear energy...also acc. to suzlon,INdia hold the wind power capacity of 45000MW),solar power(a mere .5% of indian electricity demand)they dont contribute to a large percentage of india electricity demand so why not try to increase them instead of so large investments on nuclear power(it can be done afterwards also).
solar energy holds huge potential as a source of energy if investment is done on it......
Secondly,If govt. is so keen in developing India as a nuclear power so why not develop indegenious reactors instead of importing those reactors.(moreover i read that US has not gt even a single order for the export of those reactors since 1980s).Also the investment on the importing would be larger than the prodcution and development of vernacular energy alternatives
Well, seeing all this i thing govt. should reconsider the situation and should not hurry with the deal.I respect Mr. Manmohan Singh and i hope that he takes the right decision.....
PLus, personally i am somewhat skeptic about US policies which right from the beginning of globalisation have been highly biased and were totally against developing countries..(take example of the oil prices)
P.S-Facts and figures are taken from reliable sources......Plz report immediately for any discrepancy....
