If the estimates suggest that India can produce more CHEAP, RENEWABLE, ECO-FRIENDLY energy than nuclear power, why don't the people who claim that go ahead and start making it. I am sure if the plan is good enough, the government will support it. If not the government, I am sure any sane business will consider it if it makes economic sense. If the claim is that it is cheaper than other sources of energy, then obviously it will be financially feasible which makes me wonder why the Tatas and the Ambanis of India have still not considered such energy production.
People who claim such things should come up with plans first and then start meddling in politics. Saying that the US can dictate terms to India at this stage is not just an affront to Indian polity, but an insult to Indian intelligence. China opened its market to the US and gained an upper hand simply based on their cost-effective manufacturing. Now, China has massive trade surplus and can economically paralyze the US any time it wants. Letting the US into India will do the same for India. The shear human resource gives India the greatest advantage and will lead to a massive trade surplus vis-a-vis the US.
Being paranoid about the US is a submissive mentality with extremely low self-esteem. I suggest that people who worry about such things get some psychiatric help for their low self-image.
