There are thirty new nuclear power plants planned to be built in the US shortly. Work on three has already started. If you are counting on solar and wind energy, you math has been very poor. Try to understand the difference between Kilowatts and Megawatts, then you'll know why nuclear power plants are essential. Once India signs the deal, all other nations are free to trade in nuclear energy related technologies with India. India does not have to buy any thing from the US afterwards. Hyde and 123 Act then becomes irrelevant. Is US going to go to war with India if India does not abide by Hyde and 123 acts. I think NOT. Thorium needs Plutonium trigger to fission. Plutonium is produced by Uranium based Nuclear Power Plants. So think again Mr. Srinivasan, why the treaty is good for India. Dr. Manmohan is the Prime Minister and he knows what he is doing. You are just a ten cent journalist whose math is very poor.

Church started to recruit RSS
The invitation extended to top BJP leader L K Advani by Mar Thoma Metropolitan Joseph Mar Thoma to attend the 90th birthday celebrations of Valiya Metropolitan Philipose Mar Chrisostum is developing into a stormy controversy within the Mar Thoma Church.
Advani has been invited in person by Joseph Mar Thoma to inaugurate the birthday celebrations in Kottayam on April 26. The decision was taken by the Metropolitan without discussing it in the Bishop Synod or the Church Council.
The meeting decided to give a memorandum signed by 10,000 believers to Joseph Mar Thoma requesting him to cancel the invitation. Former clergy trustee Rev. A P Jacob presided over the meeting.
This is a truth that killer RSS is now hardly trying to find a safer place between Indian people. The same poeple engaged now to join people who has been continuously trying to divide and attack.

One near Allentown, PA by Areva. Two in south Texas. Originally, Hitachi secured the deal. GE did the licensing work on the deal. Toshiba undercut Hitachi-GE. Toshiba/Westinhouse are in advanced stage of negotiation with the utility in S.Texas. Southern Co is in talks with Toshiba/Westinghouse to build two plants in Georgia. Scana Corp is in talks with Toshiba/Westingouse to build two plants in South Carolina. Are you happy now Mr. Ravi Parkas? Hyde act and 123 act are a lot of hot air.

Why is it that if nuclear power is so important, that the UPA Govt has cut the budget allocation for DAE in this budget? Why has the production of uranium from the desi mines been reduced drastically? No one gives you technology free of cost. If you think that it will be so easy to bypass US in future nuclear commerce, you are mistaken. I think the author has raised some very valid points that need to be clarified to the nation before the governt proceeds further on the deal.

Sir,Could you enlighten us about where these plants are located. Secondly, I don't subscribe to your position that breach of Hyde Act,and other provisions would not attract punitive measures.It is patently wrong to sign a contract and then breach it!!!
