Thats pity. Those very useful things are not being told to public. N-power plant installation is very expensive so initial cost is very high for the electricity but in the long run it may come down until unless uninterrupted supply of fissile material is ensured. Enriched uranium is also very costly fuel and going to be costlier soon. The end result will be no different than in crude oil case. Now we are dependent on OPEC and that time we'll be on NSG.

Technology for enriching Uranium can be developed but Oil reserves can not be created so in long run safe bet will be depending upon NSG for the time being.

This deal is not good for India at all .I hope these fools at the centre will have the foresight to not go ahead with this disaster of a deal. US wants to push this deal (especially Bush) because, they understand the non viability of the nuclear power as a source in the future. They are actively engaged currently in fullfledged Alternative energy research (solar, wind and bio) as they see where the future lies. And the decrepit and soon to be outdated nuclear technology (which is crude, eco unfriendly and dangerous, as well as lower yeilds and high expense) is to be discarded and sold to developing country like India. But they can do this only while there is still a good resale value for this which won't be for too long, which they realize as developing countries are fast catching up and hence the push to get this bill ratified. As I see it, only china and Communists ( and now BJP which is ofcourse doing it only to go against congress) are the real friend of the poor and common folk of India. Think calmly and in a detached manner free from your own selfish interests and benefits that this deal might bring you personally or your immediate family in US for just a few more years left for you to live in this world and that too as miserable third class citizens. You see, this deal is not about ship abandoning IT coolies hiding in foreign burrows but this is about the plight,hopes and aspirations of the poor, rural and common folk of my beloved motherland - Whom you have forgotten.
