I think we have already liberalised the utilities sector. As of today, Private - Public partnerships are the order.
Why don't we allow the private sector to handle this. Let them tie up with technology partners and provide us with the energy we need. Why should the government take up this job when we all know their efficiency when it comes to executing it.
I think the government should stick to legislation and lay out a framework for producing nuclear energy. The private sector should then move in and buy reactors, fuel etc and bid for certain territories with a utility tariff regulated by a competent body. If we could do that in Telecom so succeefully, why not the Power sector?
Also, why can't the US take up a BOOT project, by bidding to provide power for the next 20 years? Any suggestions?
