Good analysis, but you seem to have left half unsaid. Agreed that this may create dependency on external suppliers, but is that not the case with fossil fuels?
You probably know better than many, but does this not make better sense to work towards improvement of technology and measure to avoide chernobyl than resisting a whole technology.
Further, with all due regards, why has BARC not been successful in building a thorium based electricity which is econimically viable? As far as I know, India is self sufficient in thorium.
Of course there will be big money involved, but we live in the era of public corporates, where each shareholder is a owner. Why are we talking like the last century corporate terms when a very few individuals owned corporates and their profits.
All my above agruments be damned with, can you suggest what is the real solution to India's energy hunger? Why nuclear, we must look at all options together and pursue all, not pose one against other.
This is all my 2 pence worth. Will be happy to get your response.

Nanda, your message is not 2 pence worth even. And you claim it to be. What is so difficult about the india's inability towards self energy production. How did people live thru the centuries. You seem to be more concerned about the energy needs than the people who really need it. There is still lot of ways to get through the energy crisis than falling at others' feet like you. 50 years back india was called the snake charmers' world. Now there is substantial developments. And which country does not have problems. Why not spend your two cents thinking of other indigeneous ways to develop our country rather than depending on others. Parasite.
