cntd.. It is in the media that we are near success in the Thorium based technology. Just five years from now. We have 60% of world Thorium deposit. Let us go slow and wait for the development of our own know how to produce energy from our own Thorium. By this time the waste disposal know how will be available at affordable conditions. We can manage the difference (10%) in demand by some other ways. Why should we carry the heavy burden of astronomically huge loans? It is a perpetual bondage!!!
Why this 'undue haste' to sign this deal? We are a democratic society. Decisions are taken based on some democratic values and principles. We have an elected Parliament. It is the prerogative of the Parliament to enter into any agreements with foreign countries. Here the deal was kept a secret from the Parliament. There were no in-depth discussions in the AICC and Council of Ministers and ruling partners. Just casual briefings which everyone listen and say YES. There were assurances from leaders that deal will be signed with consensus from various sections of people. But the government failed to arrange a discussion in the Parliament. How dare the government to go ahead with the deal? Where from they get the courage to sign a deal with hidden agenda in an undemocratic and deceitful way?
' Most Western nations, save France and Japan, now avoid new nuclear power plants'. Everyone fear the problems connected with waste disposal. The government should be in the know about this.
