RE:Nuclear Deal
by Sandeep on Jul 17, 2008 01:09 AM

Where do you get these future percentage numbers? Is this the basis of your argument?
At this time, current power generation is 132,000 MW. Maybe it will double by 2020(not sure). Nuclear power is projected to be 20,000 to 40,000 MW by 2020. Still that would make this anywhere from 7.6% to 15% by 2020.
Note also, even 20,000 MW which is lower projected range is about 15% of today's energy which is quite big.
Lastly, do you know currently, nuclear reactors are running at half the capacity in India?
