Nuclear fuel cannot be a substitute for oil based power in current times. India needs to be able to bargain effectively(through all means and politicking) and buy big oil-fields prudently from time to time like china, west does. Oil barrel prices will hit 200$ and 300$ in next few years. Forget economic growth, India will be a done case and relegated to a slave nation again if it can't think and act smart in dealing with russia, middle east.
