nuclear energy, danger Vs Reliability Vs cost in long term.
by shailendra on Jul 19, 2008 01:48 PM

The Article dose not talk about long term reliability and cost of other energy souses. At present the cost of nuclear energy is higher than any other source like from coal, Gas. But they likely to cause more to global warming which will hit hard to nature dependent rural(agriculture) life of India on which more than 60%. That cost will be much higher that the cost of nuclear energy. Secondly, India has limited coal reserves so how will it provide energy in future for its growth to it economy. What is reliability of these energy recourses? Finally, if 'nuclear energy' is far more accident-prone and dangerous, why would developed country like France produce more than 80% of its electricity by using nuclear energy?? Germany is reconsidering its plan to shut down nuclear reactors (against perception of danger) due to its national target of reducing green house gases (from coal/gas based power plants).
