To all Commies >> I ask ONE Question.
by ASHOK on Aug 31, 2007 08:47 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

South India has shown remarkable progress.
Tamil Nadu is racing ahead of Pune as a Automobile hub. ( This is one example of power requirement).
Karnataka / AP/TN/Kerala has ever growing power requirement.
Hydro Electric potential in these areas is more or less utilised. These areas are far away from COAL PITS.

Gas from KG Basin is needed for fertiliser plants also.

What route these Commies suggest to generate power. >>> This is my question.

Wind and Solar can not give that much what we need. ( They are good for small pockets / Villages / in accessible areas)

First think about generating power for the electricity to avoid the power cut from 10 hrs to 8 hrs, then think about other things.

Nuclear Reactors take Base load. When you have huge supply & Demand Gap you need Base load capability.
People talk a lot about HydroElectricity ( Tell me what happen to Electricty , if we miss Monsoon by 1 year)

If you can not think in all directions and work on many fronts than you get into problems such as you are talking about.

For South India , we are heavily dependent on Electricity through Nuclear Route.
If Commies can suggest Hydro, they should come forward and tell where.

Solar energy is a one which is not yet advanced, high per wattage too, but we need all types of energy too.
Wind in heavy wind places. Solar in solar concentration places. Why don't we trap all the sources. The energy generated from these are very less. Electricity from Nuclear is the only way to get clean energy in volume for the requirement of the nation.

As we face severe shortages, Nuclear is the best option in hand.
