Although I don't oppose the nuclear deal perse to simplify it as the UPA drumbeats it to be the greatest boon for a power starved India is total crap. Who stopped the self-serving politicians who ruled the country since independence to generate power from coal, hydel etc.,which had no international sanctions for us to develop? Also most countries in the world are self-sufficient in power without even having a single nuclear power plant. So let us not fool ourselves into believing that nuclear power is panacea to all our ills on the power front. Unless politicians are made accountable, no amount of new technology to generate power with or without international assistance will help our country.
