INDIA NEEDS ELECTRICITY TO REDUCE OIL DEPENDENCE
by sridhar gorantla on Feb 21, 2008 12:44 AM

This is true. Every year, Indian exports are around $120 billion and India spends about $50 Billion only on Petrol imports. We should side with USA and get this deal cleared, so we get more electricity generated from Nuclear Power Plants. With this, we get more electricity and this in turn will fuel people using Battery operated 2 & 3 wheelers & to some extent 4 wheelers as well and this will reduce India's OIL import bill. This means, India will save lot of money by not spending it on the Import of Oil. More over, if we are stuck with Oil, which is mainly from Middle East, its not good for India. OBSERVE ONE THING CLEARLY. IT IS THE WEST THAT HELPS US DEVELOP BY WAY OF GIVING US MORE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN THEIR COUNTRIES AND BY WAY OF TAKING OUR SERVICES FROM OUR IT EXPORTS AND APPARELS, PHARMACHEUTICALS etc. While Muslim nations have not done anything, inspite of India having worlds second largest Muslim population. Think about it on whom we need to have alliance with for our development. When there was an Earthquake in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia gave 3Billion dollars as a charity. While the same Saudi didnot give any thing for India in its time of need, inspite of so many Indians working and serving Saudi's doing menial jobs there.
