Sorry Mr. Vyas, it seems that N-deal is synonymous with 'National Interest' which may not actually be true! Clearly US savvy media and US savvy Indians want this message to take over any other independent thoughts, but still quesions do not die down. Questions-
1. With most optimistic assumption, India can have only 9% of its total requirement by 2020! 2. Nuclear power is not actually a replacement for Oil or natural gas because this cannot run vehicles or factory machines which presumably constitutes the major part of India's oil import. 3. This power might also be expensive. 4. India will have to invest a huge amount of money for buying muclear reactors and other weapons from US (TOI, 26th June, 3165613.cms). 5. As a result India's FBR research using thorium (India has 24% of world reserve) is hampered. 6. Major scientists are against it (P.K. Iyengar, former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), A. Gopalakrishnan, former head of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, and A.N. Prasad, former director of Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC)).
So, even ignoring political points, just scientifically it cannot really be established that this deal is so much for 'NATIONAL INTEREST'! Isn't it?
