whatever kalam said about thorium may be right but certainly he is wrong about the time estimate. The technology which we cpold not create for last 60 years, how can we dream of doint it in mere 5 years. Imagine even if we have thorium reactors by 2030 how many decades more would it take to build as many of them as the country needs. While disussing this issue with my friends one of them came with a suggestion why we dont use solar power. But we forget the scale of solar . Today solar power cant light more than few bulbs. This is the problem with us. We only dream . We indians dont try to understand the practical and managerial part behingd the situation. Manmohan Singh may not be commanding the faithfulness of the entire country but in todays parliament there isnt anyone more cabale than him for the PM's post.Its high time indians should realise that political positions should filled only with capable persons and not popular persons. Somebody on this board suggested Lalu should be PM. I say Better keep his Bhains (cow) to govern people like you. Its high time indians should realise that political positions should filled only with capable persons and not popular persons.
