RE:Nuclear Deal
by bishnu sen on Jul 15, 2008 12:41 PM

The nonconventional sources of energy like solar tidal etc can giveus a miniscule amount of our total energy need, much less than 55 even if we utilize them fully.
The energy that can be derived from Thorium/Uranium breeder reactor will give us a perpetual supply of energy at minimum cost, once the teething troubles are sorted out, which our Scientists are capable of doing.When petroleum, gas and coal will be exhausted in the near future, then the energy supplied from the breeder reactors, which require Thorium,which we already have and Uranium which we have to import through IAEA agencies will be the only solution. We have to be prepared for that , before the time runs out. Those who say we have sufficient Uranium are not aware of facts.
