SP grabbed the finest chance in this political melee.It has seen the advantages looming large on the horizon.Left is now left with nothing.Their behaviour on the Nuke deal is very strange.Gas line through unpredictable surface areas such as warlord rules pakistan areas and Isreal threatened Iran lines seems to be OK in the place of civil nuke energy inside our own land.Strange are the ways of politics.Left who saw itself as anti communal, has pathetically coloured itself with some thing time will prove them to very wrong. Their stubborn opposition to nuke deal is giving space for speclations among the general public about their real intentions!!!. Finally, Congress has pulled a smart one. BJP is in squanders . They are busy on the streets with communalised issues.As of inflation, I challenge any media chap to give a switch on switch off solution to control it. General public are aware that both PM and FM and RBI too are well geared to control it and the process is already on. Media is spreading misgivings based on their political lineages.Very sad for the country.Thanks.

The relevance of supply and prices of oil is irrelevant in this matter as most of oil in India is used for transportation only. Moreover the supply of Uranium is also not without problems as the reserves are expected to last only 85 years. Further nuclear technology has the most flat learning curve and cost incurred increases with time, unlike other technologies / products. Even US, France and Russia are not way ahead on the nuclear spectrum; building reactors is fraught with cost and time overruns while some parts are manufactured by only one firm in the entire world and have a lead time of 6 years!! It looks like India can't go anywhere with the nuclear deal. If someone has facts that counter the ones above, I will be glad to be educated.

Few thousand crores are worth for 85 years cosidering your estimate.When there is huge NSG and Indian technical capacity I think it is worth a try.We have been running civil reactors and theyre was no complaint.So what could be the problem now?Ad thanks for reacting to the above notes mine.

`the reserves are expected to last only 85 years`But how long you want a new reactor to work for it become feasible? Increasing the cost is true of not only in nuclear processing but also any other industrial activity.But what you mean by `cost incurred increases with time`? It is also not expected that our full need of power will be met by this nuclear deal, but only supplement it.France meet its power need to the extent of 95% by Thermonuclear process.
