Save UPA Government
by Khangembam Romesh on Jul 21, 2008 05:31 AM

Looking at the present scenario, the political crisis created by BJP and leftist has no value in the sense that there is the need of stability of the present government. Economy is still under inflationary pressure. Trying to topple the government at this stage is not a better option. At the same time, the nuclear option is important for India's future. The supreme importance the Indo-US nuclear deal is of the essential to provide energy security for the long run. It would be absolutely useful to solve the problem of power to come in India's future. More demand for energy is placed on our country for future energy supply. Based on the expert committee report, the estimated power needed by India would be at 960,000MW by 2031-32. There is no doubt that coal is the most easiest and cheapest option for energy. Though, as coal reserve deplete the coal-based-power production will not able to handle the situation in future decades. The extractable coal reserve may not last long. Another better and more accessible option than nuclear power is solar energy. But there is no certainty for solar energy to become the source of the future. Yet nobody knows if the technology can be scaled up, work in cloudy countries, or overcome maintenance issues. So, in such circumstances Indo-US nuclear deal becomes essential option for providing energy security for long term benefit. It is the best interest of the country. Benefits that India can reap from Indo-US nuclear deal will reveal in future.
