RE:What Happens?

Hi,Sankar

Your points are valid and make sense.

The problem we face is that we overly dependent on the Middle East for our energy requirements. It can make us vulnerable anytime. Nuclear energy is diversifying our risks. How we protect our interests are to be left to our capable negotiating team. We are not party to all the details. China overcame all opposition to put up 18000mw three gorges dam. They had opposition to that, but they have a way to meet them effectively. As Deng used to say, it does not matter whether a cat is white or black, it has to catch mice. Now these huge hydro dams are keeping their economy buzzing. We are battling opposition to hydro projects for years, without any progress. Any initiative is just opposed. Why can't we look at in a positive way, if we do not have a better option?

I feel inaction is worse than being worried about all consequences of any action. We have limited options. The leftists opposed all computerisation and see their stupidity.

It is time we trust our skilled negotiaters who have done yeoman constructive work. We cannot also expect USA to give technology, fuel on a silver plate. If we have a better alternative, let the leftists put it up. Time to create than always destroy.
