The so called nuclear deal will fulfil 7% energy need is afact.Why to bind ourselve &depend on unreliable sources. years back in villages MOGALI ERAND a small bush was used to extract oil which was used for lanterns.With investment in research genetically better species of ERAND / JATROFA can be developed to get the BIODIESEL.With this biodiesel each farmer can generate his own electricity.Domestic consumption is mate by this method .Hydro electricity resources will be left for Industrial use.

@sanjeev kulkarni -It is good idea!But who is stopping farmers or any body from producing the elecricty from Biodisel!Some one Pillai? or some body did claim to extract oil from bushes as you say!Mr. Karunanidhi was CM of Tamilnadu then!But later it petered out!It was said to be hoax !But it will be better if farmers generate their own electricty!Why farmers even industries should also do that!

By the way, Mr. Sanjeev, if the farmers were to grow JATROFA, rather than food crops, where do you think is our food production going to come from. Instead of nuclear fuel, we may then be on the track to import foodgrains. Besides, JATROFA will not necessarily generate electricity for most farmers as their farm lands are small. A better idea is to develop solar technology, wind technology and so on. I can understand that people have plusses about nuclear energy, but the most basic issue is that of sovereignty.
U.S. is a country which in the name of promoting democracy has propped up dictators like Musharraf and kangaroo democracies like Iraq. Hence to believe US is like to shoot yourself in your own mouth, own foot and own head. I am totally against communists (for Nandigram, Buddhadev should resign or be hanged till death), but the point is that nuclear energy won't help much. Another idea can be to develop gobar-gas plants as we have a large number of villages and they can be taught this method to produce cheap electricity. If not one village, a group of villages can combine together, which can ensure that villages get enough electricity for irrigation and other domestic purposes. Such plants can be constructed in cities as well to ensure that organic wastes are properly utilised.

Pastor Walter Masih was brutally assaulted allegedly by VHP workers in Jaipur. A year later, he is making desperate pleas for justice because the BJP govt in Raj. refused prosecution of 14 accused & closed investigations.
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 people engaged now to join people who has been continuously trying to divide and attack.
