But why should we stopped iran pipeline deal???is it because of pressure from US???
If we agree the deal, we need a lot of investment in building nuclear reactors..no probs with that,because we need energy for our development...but if the supply is stopped,then what will we do with these reactors????
the deal did not said tht,it ensures uninterupted supply of energy...then wht abt the crores of ruppess???
We will get fuel supply until we agree all US needs...may be to associate in a war aganist IRAN or a base camp in India to attach IRAN ..can we allow that.
If these questions are sorted out,we can make a decision on this deal..
we are here writing in support of political parties...pls be an INDIAN......and think abt its future...

- We need nuclear energy as also all renenwable resources we can which includes solar/wind etc. Clearly India has huge shortage of power and this needs to be attacked urgently. - US pressure is no doubt a reason but also pipeline going through Pakistan is probably bigger one. Who know for sure.. - That is always a consideration. Though chances are slight unless India explodes a nuclear device. But India can bank supplies and if we have to increase our economic might quickly enough, we have to go with this slight risk. - No, we do not have to agree to US demands. Any country in NSG can supply fuel(which includes Russia and other countries). I think once India becomes a member, it will not be very easy to remove it.
My feeling is that we need to get as much energy and as fast as possible without relying on oil. That can be a bigger problem in future than worrying about some countries stopping nuclear fuel supply. Though we should have some backup plan for sure..

U had not said abt the coilation with US in war aganist IRAN..it may happen...
then abt gas pipeline...if its because of the security in pakistan,why india made an elaborate study in the pipeline process by spending crores...and pakistan already said that they will give full security for this because they too are the benficieries..
and abt storage,as per the deal we cannot store more than a limit and the capacity is very low... so we have to seal out our plants after the supply is cut of..
then abt the suppy from other countries after cut off from US..is it possible..the US will try to stop their supply as they are as much powerful in other countries...and we will get fuel from russia..thts sure..and we r getting uranium from russia nw itself...

Dude, it is about Pakistan and also about US to some extent. Remember Pak can play spoil sport anytime. India has considered various other alternatives also like getting pipeline trhough central asia and underwater etc which are too expensive. No doubt, US does not want it.
Nope, wrong. the limit is lifetime of reactor.
If you remember, Russia had also stopped supplies some time back as India was not signatory to any treaty. Also nuclear technology in US and Europe is much better. Bottomline is if Russia can supply Uranium, where is the fear of US stopping supplies?

No the US can able to stop the supply from othr countries.... u r saying that for nuclear energy we have to surrender our independence???

What independence are you talking about? We do not have to surrender our independance. Fortunately, we will still get the technology and fuel and sill retain our independence. We can even conduct our nuclear explosions if we very strongly feel so. Tradeoffs are ready to live in Nuclear isolation for another 10 years.

Ajith, to add to your above doubts what about the by products of nuclear energy ie radioactive waste?
WE have already one Bhopal tragedy behind us with MISERABLE compensation to the victims.

We need energy and the nuclear energy is going to meet 5-8 % of our whole demand, and for that sacrificing our independent foreign policy might undermine the whole lot of other supplies (95-92 %) and being a strategic partner to US is potentially dangerous given the present realities of the world and not at all good for the whole world itself.

Plan is to get upto 25% total by yr 2050 with international cooperation. Which other supplu source will be undermined? Even Iran pipeline discussions have progressed in last few months with potential price of gas fixed. Onle point of delivery of gas is major sticking point. India wants it to be India Pak border whereas Iran thinks it should be Iran Pak border.

whose plan and india will get only nuclear energy to produce only 15% of our need by 2015... and if will not try for other..it will be a blunder.. and the US will not allow us to try for another like the iran pipeLine
