RE:What is wrong
by Dipak Bose on Jul 17, 2008 04:35 PM

Electricity in India is being produced by coal and hydro electric, not by nuclear which contribute only 2.6 percent of the total.
Even if shut down all nuclear plants, only a few people in Tamil Nadu( where most of the plants are located) will be affected. Electricity can be produced by many other ways, nuclear is the most expensive option and that option is already available independent of the Americans since 1968 ( when USA asked India to sign NPT, and then USA imposed sanctions against India). So even without 123 dances There can be nuclear power plants from Russia, which has helped India for the last 40 years.

However, electricity production is not the issue. Nuclear weapon is the issue. USA wants to destroy India's nuclear weapons, it is trying very hard since Clinton came into power. Bush is trying differently and he got his agent in India, MM Singh and his associates.
