Mr Mukund, I agree that to the fact that the price per unit for coal is cheaper than the nuclear fuel but how much of coal is existing in Inida ? most of the coal India has high ash coal which means the efficiency is less. The initial capital for the nuclear reactors is huge but the operation cost and the fuel cost is comparatively less when you compare the yield.
And we should also not keep all our eggs in one basket,so deft diplomacy in dealing with contracts with the western nations regd nuclear supplies should be done. and mean while we should focus on other sources of energy. The problem is we need energy to sustain our growth.
