the above article is well put. let us not bring its supporters and detractors in to it. only facts on whether it is beneficial to India or not? some more facts as published by the govt sources. total power generated in India 126000.out of this coal based 65%, hydel 27%, solar , wind etc , nuclear 3% to double nuclear power the investment needed is 50000 crores.so it is going to be much costlier . same amount spent for alternate energy will lead to much higher power generation.plus india has enough uranium :it needs to be mines. also the technology for using thorium of which we have plenty is already developed . only implementation is needed. no wonder USA or for that matter ,UK ,France, Russia and china do not want that to happen.no wonder both china and pakistan or happy with the deal. the nuclear powers tried to get india to sign NPT which so far India has resisted. this is a way through the back door. i feel we should not go ahead with the deal unless in parliament the real reasons for the deal are disclosed . it can even be in camera and restricted to leaders of prominent parties if any thing is that confidential but the benefits must be known.
