There are thirty new nuclear power plants planned to be built in the US shortly. Work on three has already started. If you are counting on solar and wind energy, you math has been very poor. Try to understand the difference between Kilowatts and Megawatts, then you'll know why nuclear power plants are essential. Once India signs the deal, all other nations are free to trade in nuclear energy related technologies with India. India does not have to buy any thing from the US afterwards. Hyde and 123 Act then becomes irrelevant. Is US going to go to war with India if India does not abide by Hyde and 123 acts. I think NOT. Thorium needs Plutonium trigger to fission. Plutonium is produced by Uranium based Nuclear Power Plants. So think again Mr. Srinivasan, why the treaty is good for India. Dr. Manmohan is the Prime Minister and he knows what he is doing. You are just a ten cent journalist whose math is very poor.
