The relevance of supply and prices of oil is irrelevant in this matter as most of oil in India is used for transportation only. Moreover the supply of Uranium is also not without problems as the reserves are expected to last only 85 years. Further nuclear technology has the most flat learning curve and cost incurred increases with time, unlike other technologies / products. Even US, France and Russia are not way ahead on the nuclear spectrum; building reactors is fraught with cost and time overruns while some parts are manufactured by only one firm in the entire world and have a lead time of 6 years!! It looks like India can't go anywhere with the nuclear deal. If someone has facts that counter the ones above, I will be glad to be educated.
