Todays war is of maintaining superimacy on enonomic and technological front, not a land grab. For that, it is a business deal,where both the parties win, may be one a little looser and other a little gainer. Present democratic system in India looks after the vote bank first, nation is secondary, therefore a lot of political disparity can be seen.

yah. so we have to tell the people the truth that nuclear power is dangerous and economically not feasible.
American Electric Power Co CEO Michael Morris said "realistic" costs of nuclear power is about $4,000 a kilowatt. Instead of nuclear plants, Columbus, Ohio-based AEP is proposing to build advanced coal-fired generation. coal-gasification plants will cost about $3,500 a kilowatt to build.

Mr. Jagan, you are wrong,please check up again, nuclear energy is cheapest in the world, also please note, when all minerals are exhausted, only nuclear will help you, do not think of today, think of tomorrow.

So the French haqve cheaper and better Nuke technology than the US, and the deal allows us to buy tech and raw mat from them too. how does a deal that "allows" us to buy what was not allowed to us before hurt us ? If we want to be frogs in a well and not buy, we can still not buy even after the deal is signed, the deal does not make it mandatory for us to buy, it just removes the restrictions, how is that bad ?

My dear Friend I read in news paper on the day of our PM dedicating Tarapur plant to nation that cost of per unit of power generated by that plant is 30 paise and it is being sold to MSETCL at this rate. While the cost of power generated by coal based power plant is Rs1.85/- .

30p is not the entire cost. There is also extra security cost, Waste management cost etc. They are calculated separately. If you add them, it will be close to Rs 1.85/-
