Yes, there is the need for an alternative energy source and India is way behind thinking about it. But few points:
1. What percentage of total energy consumption in USA is met by N-power --it cant be more than 10-15%. Why its so less. If USA can do away with its energy need by N-power, then why they want a clout in middle east for oil. Because there are some limitations to N-power.
2. The framework of our N-deal is two prong and hence flawed. Somebody will give u cow, someone else will give grass to feed it, then only u can drink milk.
Reactor from USA and fuel to feed from other countries. What would u do, if NSG in future deny u fuel anymore and u've to pay money to a USA company under the contract to run the reactor.
3. Our scientists never thought how to enrich the large Thorium reserve in our country. or never tried to overcome the technical difficulties..
