1) Author suggests improving energy efficiency by strengthening building codes? I have lived in India all my life, I don't think any builder in the entire country follows any building codes.
2) The author uses the common fallacy of pointing out that there hasn't been a new nuclear reactor built in the US in recent years. This is a wrong argument, because there hasn't been very many of any power plants built in the US in recent years. The US is already a RICH country, they already have sufficient power production. Can you say the same for India?
3) Author suggests that going back to the Nehru growth rate of 2-3 percent would be tollerable? Therefore condeming even more people to poverty?
4) The author says that nuclear energy won't provide all of India's needs right away. Fine, but in the LONG run it will provide a significant portion. France gets 70% of its energy from nuclear sources. Why must Indians always dream so small?
