The nuclear deal will fetch India with nuclear fissile material which can be used to create nuclear energy. It is not as much exciting news as it sounds. If we meet with all the safety features and the fissile fuel rates dictated by US, then nuclear energy doesnot promise the volume and price efficiency as with our conventional methods. Also we will have to agree to the US terms of no nuclear tests. In fact, for India it is more of disadvatage than advantages.
Instead, India should explore more into using Solar power which is becoming more and more price efficient with new technologies like PVD and CVD on glass substrates. Moser baer has already started with this.
