It is really pathetic that no one is pointing towards the REAL target. To me, FOSSIL FUEL, HYDROELECTRCITY & NUCLEAR ENERGY- are the 3 biggest demons and anybody supporting them is actually killing the planet. The big question is: Why nuclear when it can't give more than 6% of our total energy needs(and that too by 2011)? How long will we bear the the bruises of ignorance and slavery? There is something terribly wrong with the mindset of our leadership and the people. Everybody knows that the NUCLEAR WASTE MANAGEMENT is IMPOSSIBLE, but still we Indians continue to give logic in favour of the Nuclear energy. US has not built even a single nuclear reactor after 1979 and wants to sell us the 'rejected and HAZARDOUS technology'. And we have closed our eyes and proving our 'progressive attitude' by singing songs of praise for the Nuclear energy. Have we gone really mad? As Mr. Lakshman Singh of BJP pointed out in LOKSABHA on 28th November, 2007, there is only one safe, economical and the best way to all our energy needs: Solar and Wind energy. To quote Mr. Chetan Upadhyaya of SATYA FOUNDATION, "If at all, we want to save the world from further environmental degradation, WE MUST ADOPT SOLAR & WIND POWER, NOW. Otherwise all our slogans on Environment will be slogans only." Will the people cool down and listen the truth Or continue to be slaves? PRAGYA
The opposition is without any substance for various reasons.Among other reasons the important reasons are; ours is a growing nation and without electric power, meaningful growth is impossible;other areas such as education, population, health care and the like are the same that existed at the time we got freedom,that are of true concern and need priority.We are aware of the performance of our country on all counts and it has been pathetic thanks to our politicians.Now that we have shown meaningful growth and sustained it for over 4 years do not permit our petty politicians to kill us any further. Growth is the essence for all nations and we cannot achieve this without help even if it from the devil himself. We who live in cities and towns have seen wealth. If it is percolate to rural areas, it just is not possible to achieve our ends without nuclear power.USA is the only country that can and is willing to provide this aid. Acceptance is a must even if it means paying a small price. We shall see when we grow big enough to stand up and be counted.
I failto understand what is the motive behind USA for doing such an agreement. Secondly why India is agreeing for such an agreement. There is no need at all from India's point of view to have any such agreement. There is definitly DAAL MAI KALAA

Probably it is a result of making India to distance away from the India- Chaina- Russia nexus. These sops are the best bet. Please not be surprised if the other two countries are given similar sops separately, may be in other fields.
India is needing this treaty badly to augment her energy needs.
