INDO US NUCLEAR DEAL
by girish kumar on Jul 13, 2008 04:35 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

In the prospective war for energy between India and China, we need the nuclear power. Is there any person, whehter rich or poor, free from frequent power cuts and failures? In delhi, up, bihar, assam or even in Marxist ruled West bengal and Kerala, the fate of the poor man is same.groaping in the darkness, because of monsoon's failure! is there any alternative? we know that india is making gigantic strides in her economic growth and why we loose many of the FDI to China is the assurance of perennial flow of power/ electricity to the industrial units by China. The situation in future is going to be worse as India scrambles for more and more energy. According to recent estimates petrol prices are going to touch $ 200. How will be able quench our thirst for energy? If India does not clinch this deal soon, India will be lagging far behind China. It is an issue that touch common man too, because every one needs electricity.

Majority of Power Shortages till date Are Only due to Political Corruption, Court Cases and related Delays.

Another reason is LACK of TALENT in the SEBs as the Best Talent even after joining has left to Private Sector to avoid unneccessary problems with Quotawalas in work and promotions.

Third is, Vanishing of Village Tanks and Lakes By Encroachers Which decreased the Ground Water Levels and Made the Water Drain into the Sea.
That Resulted in More Power Requirement in Agriculture Sector And Also More Demand of Water for Domestic Consumption.

Lack of Water Harvesting resulted in Increased Temperatures Which Made ACs and Coolers a Neccessity. I found In everybodies House the Power Bills are double in houses with Coolers And 6 times in houses with ACs.

Meaning Manifolds of Increase in Power Demand. By Spending Rs. 35000 Crores to Dig Village Tanks/Lakes which will take less than 2 yrs, We can decrease the Load of Agri Sector as well as the Domestic Demand in Summers to 1/3 or 1/4.

We Don't need to go for N Deal and Increase our N Energy Component Which will only be delivered if At all AFTER 8/10 yrs.

Do you seriously think India with her (proudly) growing population can ever cater to her power problems by N-means?
