Thorium development..... sounds like another LCA project, expensive, delayed and no results in sight (atleast for another two decades). India's thorium research has been going on for nearly 30 years now. The need for electricity is right now and very soon. India's uranium reserves are very few. This decision maybe be demeaning to the country's scientist (according to Sanjeev Singh), but let's be practical here. We need electricity to irrigate land, run our industries and increase our productivity, if we really want to compete with China.
They have made country wide improvements, especially towards north-east India, while our government has persistently neglected that part. While China had constructed a railway line, we haven't even built high speed roads connecting north-east with rest of India. As far as Diggi Raja and Nehru-Gandhi clan are concerned, they can all go to hell (but who will pack them off to that place!). Even the devil will groan!
