Why do we forget that there is no need of the Nuclear deal in the first place because we have enough Solar and Wind energy resources. The people sitting in the power must open eyes to the fact that we have already devastated the nature due to our myopic vision. First coal & petrol and then killing nuclear power(yes, it brings with it many environmental hazards)!! What a rubbish? For all our energy needs, Let's switch over to the Solar & Wind energy immediately and not waste time in Nuclear deal. With due respect towards friends of US, I would like to say that one should talk of facts and figures. I am just saying that when greener ways are there to produce energy, then why are we advocating such killers of nature like Nuclear energy. India's euphoria over nuclear deal with the US is puzzling. If nuclear generated electricity is good for India, so should it be for the US. But the US hasn't built a single nuclear plant in the last so many decades. In Western Europe, most of the nations are phasing out nuclear power. India should question its overnight enthusiasm for a source of energy that is being rejected in many of the world's most advanced countries. The world tide is largely against it. The reasons are based on safety and economics. Public opinion in Europe opposes nuclear plants because they generate radioactive waste whose storage can kill and injure future generations.
