N-Deal is a must for India if we want to march ahead and reclaim our lost glory. These Left parties are functioning as stooges of China and BJP ? should look at its own shoes. N-Deal will help India to sustain growth & to emerge powerful in the world

I don't know whether the left is right or not. All I know is that where U.S is involved, any decision should be taken with utmost care also keeping in mind that a nuclear reactor would be a very good target for Terrorists.

Please confirm at the beginning whether you are ready for the following before agreeing to the deal:
1. are you ready to pay 4 times the electricity bill than you now pay
2. are you ready to allow US to dictate India's foreign policies (it has already started with India voting against Iran somewhat risking the Iran Gas Pipeline deal which would have been a breakthrough in solving India's energy crisis)
3. The side effects of the nuclear fuel dumping.. (These dumpings in Jadugoda had its effects on the people of the locality, 62% of women suffer from miscarriages in pregnancy, 70% of the children are born cripple, avarage timetime of people over there is about 45 years)
4. Do you know that this deal has no relations with our nuclear weapons program.. This is just for electricity generation for our household..
5. The main reason to push this deal is that this deal will allow almost all political parties to benefit hugely (financially)
6. Instead if we had opted for solar energy/thermal energy plants that would have been much more cost efficient..

Dear Subhabrata, Let me answer your concerns: 1. With the new technology the cost of the electricity will be Rs.2.50/unit. 2. We voted against Iran not because of USA as it was our own decision and in politics, sometimes we have to choose who can be a better ally. we have voted so many times for USSR but it never helped us esp. in the case of China. 3. Side effect I agree, its very much there, so are the side effects of the pollution caused by our industries, its just that we have to take precautions, which even nature tells to keep an eye on. 4. Its not true, we are free to do what all we want to and the UN won't keep a watchdog on our reactors. Our current need is power and not the bomb. 5. Agree, but which deal hasn't benefited the politicians. 6. Solar energy, its still in its infancy and its costs will be Rs.20/unit. Are you willing to pay that much? We need to work on the solar technology so that its price comes down to Rs.2/unit. Choice is yours....
