Energy needs of India are increasing exponentially. India would require 500-600 thousand MW of power by 2030 up from 132,110 at present. Thus nuclear power is one of the way forward for India to bridge this gap.
After oil, natural gas prices are next identified by global speculators for cascading price spiral. Economies of states like Gujarat who are significantly dependent on natural gas are going to shortly take a huge hit.
Increased price of oil and gas internationally, issues of climate change associated with coal as well as the breakdown of consensus on big dams has forced the country to re-look the viability of nuclear power.
So the next time we experience load shedding, power cuts, when our industrial growth plunges for lack of power, when our agricultural growth plunges because farmers cannot power their gen-sets, accentuating global inflationary pressures etc we will know who to spit on?
Advani and Prakash Karat and their respective parties are going to end up hate symbols among common people of India

Yes the Congress projected the power requirement as 500-600 thousand MW by 2030. It is an absurd projection. Also they visualize 26% nuclear power by that time. That is 1,25,000MW. Is it practically possible to build plants like multi-storied buildings. I feel sorry for their projections. Think of the decommissioning cost for such plants as I explained earlier. Unimaginable!!

All theses days i have being reading your comments in support of the deal and critical of bp and left. 1)Can you tell us will congrees give us 100% garuntee of no power cuts after the deal comes through,then we dont want to hear more excuses from congrees or you for power failures. 2)Since the congrees high command is no mood to criticise the left for their betral,as they always accuse of BJP of something or the other.

No guarantees as in life. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
But if you do not take corrective action, even God will not help you

So there you go ALL RIght,you want BJP to be blamed for future power cuts,but cannot give garuntee of no power cuts with the deal,Then why are the deal supporters haling it as a mile stone where their will be no power cuts?
I have being following the supporters of the deal for quite some time,who are criticising commies and BJp for not supporting the deal.even calling communist as china agents. WHAT is the garuntee that Madam Sonia may not take their help in future anymore to form government?It is 100% sure it has to take commies suppport hence the thanking by Sonia to them .Are we fools not to understand it.

As he said, there are no guarantees in life, but we do take insurance policies for accidents and evetualities.
We have to look at what our requirements may be in the future and how we will meet them. Some will be met from CURRENT sources, some from KNOWN sources and some from FUTURE sources. Future sources are still not there as yet. Present sources are not sufficient and that leaves KNOWN sources as insurance until FUTURE are developed.
