This Indo-US Nuke Deal is Not Good. It is Only to finance the Bankrupt G-8 & their allies.
The Propaganda of Lack of Energy is a UnTruth.
Proper Water Management thru Water Harvesting in Village Ponds, which were actually filled up and Encroached by Congress Party workers and its splinter groups Will Solve a Huge Power Requirement from the AGRIculture Sector.
Stop Power Theft And Use that Money to Finance New Projects.
Campaign for Social Afforestation with Plants which can be used as Bio-mass to generate Energy, Which means a double advantage. A Huge Amount of Energy Demand for the AC/Refrigeration Purposes will vanish. Also, Rains will be better And Hydel Power Generation with existing Capacities itself will Increase.
Diversify Industrial development across Geography, So that both Public and Private Transportation Costs will decrease. Which means Less Petrol/Forex And Also Lesser Energy Consumption in the Homes. People Also will have More Free time in their Lifes.
Encourage Non-Conventional Energy Sources which have much lesser Gestation Periods.
PLS UNDERSTAND that the GDP Growth Mongers & Foreign Agents Are Not Allowing the Above things happen because they want to grow their wealth at the COST of the Environment And Our Tax Money.
REJECT THIS N-DEAL. TOPPLE THIS UPA GOVT.
ALL THE PARTIES SUPPORTING THIS GOVT ARE ONLY SUPPORTING FOR THEIR SELFISH INTERESTS AND NOT BECOZ THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS IN THE DEAL.

Some of what you say are very valid. This game of money has been going on since the dawn of human civilization (guess what Alexander wanted by conquering the world). However, as the fight as suggested by you must continue, it is pertinent to note that we do not live in isolation on planet earth. Resources like coal and other fossil fuel are for a limited period of time before they run out. With the model of development that we have adopted as being energy intensive, the alternatives - though important in themselves - are just not adequate to look after the energy requirement in the future given that India requires to grow at 8-9% PER ANNUM for the next 35-50 years so as to bring abount prosperity (as defined today in the developmental model that we have adopted) to all Indians equivalent to our current middle-Middle Class level of lifestyle. There are people who say that for India and China to give their citizens lifestyles akin to americans would require the resources of 2 Earths!!! The point I am making is that the existence or demise of the UPA Govt. is immaterial to a greater debate for Indians in particular and manking in general. Is the current development model based on an ever increasing need for energy to drive it, sustainable? If not, what is the alternative? Perhaps, this could be a better thing to discuss on this blog insteady of the usual thakela religion-caste based gibberish.
