Give us New-Clear Power!
by Jai Singh on Jul 22, 2008 02:25 PM

"Give us New-Clear Power,
N We will give you Nuclear Power"

Both UPA and NDA (and others as well except Left) seem to tell Indian masses the same thing.
Left is left as it does not wanna give Indian masses any power but only ideologies.

The questions are:
1. Is nuclear power proposed gonna be cheaper than present options.
2. Will harnessing hydel power and solar power available to our country not be safer and cheaper option than nuclear power. Even conversion of coal to coal gas can be very effective due to large reservoirs of coal available.
3. What are Indian nuclear scientists doing if they cannot convert Plutonium and Uranium available in the country into electricity. See this statement
"Today,India is the only developing country that has demonstrated its capability to design, build, operate and maintain nuclear power plants,manufacture all associated equipment and components,and produce the required nuclear fuel and special materials," says Dr.R.Chidambaram, Chairman,Atomic Energy Commission , India.
Then why this nuclear begging. Is demonstration of a capability and getting promotions the only duty of nuclear scientists.
4. Why we shameless Indians are always holding a bowl "Katora" in front of US for everything and then keep paying them forever.
5. To tackle global warming, grow as many trees as possible (they are your natural solar panels). Only this can avoid Global warming. Further, emission of gases from Thermal power plants is due to inefficiency of the plants.
