I feel we have spent enough time, money and energy on shouting for this deal. Our Former President Mr Kalam has been outcrying to invest on Thorium based power plants. Why Not we focus on this. India has the 2nd largest base of Thorium reserves. If we really invest and direct our scientist on inventing this, we can be the new leader in Nuclear Technology. Instead of politicising the issue, let us not proceed with the deal and concentrate on how to become self sufficient. I think if India invest more on correcting the distribution lines we can provide uninteruppted power to most of the places. Author has said we have only 25% loss on distribution. My guesstimate will be about 35 to 40% being wasted due to un-maintained distribution lines and another 10% is lost due to the mis-use of Electrical power in most of the places including big cities Why not People like us have the option to vote for this. After all it is of national interest and We people form this nation.
As per the Official Stats, T&D Losses are 25%. Technically, They should not exceed 13%. Means, 12% is Theft.
To Stop This, You will have to Kick on the Street Your Own Neighbours and MLAs and MPs. Some Specific Communities are Habitual Power Theifs. And On a Regular Basis, The Politicians before the Elections Promise to Waiver the Bills of those Communities.
Unless this Menace is Tackled on the Street and In the Courts, The Power Thefts Cannot be Eliminated.
Let us Resolve to Campaign against this Culture And Make India a Prosperous Nation.
