Finally everything has ended successful. The nuclear deal was a good initiative. I think even the BJP and Left should have seen the benefits of the deal instead of opposing.
There is tremendous need for nuclear energy in the future.The entire country comes to an halt in ths modern world without energy.
Eventhough I hate Sonia Gandhi and her Gandhi Dynasty. I strongly support all the non-Gandhi congress leaders from India. Dr Manmohan Singh and PV Narasimha Rao have done India proud via economic reforms and civilian nuclear deal.

Finally, the nuclear deal will do little to promote India's energy security. To start with, nuclear power is a dubious route to security because it is fraught with grave problems of operational safety, proneness to accidents, routine radioactivity releases and exposure, and above all, high-level wastes that remain radioactive for centuries.
India's nuclear power plans have always been marked by utopian and constantly missed targets. For instance, India was projected to generate 43,500 megawatts of nuclear electricity by 2000. Today, India produces less than 1/10th of that amount in nuclear reactors. However, even if India's romantic plans fructify, the contribution of atomic energy to total electricity generation will rise by 2030 to 6 percent, from the current level of 3 percent. That can hardly be a source of energy security!

There are countries like France who are generating 75-80% through Nuclear and Japan is producing about 40% through nuclear. No Nuclear is clearly proven isn’t it? USA also produces 15% of it’s energy through nuclear.
Your next paragraph is actually one of the reasons why India has to go for this deal. The facts you give are twisted and made up by someone. Please check those before pasting it everywhere. By 2020, Nuclear will be 7-8% and by 2050 25% or so.
