If nuclear deal goes through, India's energy needs will be fully met, Nuclear energy is infinite energy though it more costly by 20% to 50% than coal or hydro electricity. More and more industries can be started, lot of employment can be generated for people and there will be overall improvement of life of people. There is possibility that India can become an economic superpower like Japan or USA. Regarding security, when India gradually become an economic superpower, more and more i.e. 10 times more conventional weapons, 10 times more missiles, 10 times more fighter planes and 10 times more nuclear weapons can be built. More navy ships and more submarines, more fighter planes can be built or purchased. India had already exploded nuclear weapons. When India gradually becomes a economic superpower, govt. will have more money, hundreds or thousands of missiles with nuclear and conventional warheads can be built. No country will raise a hand against India. Now it is necessary that, India's energy needs are to be met and India had to become an economic superpower. Massive build up of weapons (nuclear and conventional) can be taken up gradually in future. China or Pakistan will never dare to attack India, as India is a nuclear power and nuclear missiles can reach Bejing. If nuclear deal goes through, India likely to become an economic superpower as well as military superpower or mini military superpower in future. There will also be an option to buy gas from Iran in addition to nu

20-50% more isn't much to bargain for. But the cost of NE is more than at the cheapest 300%. You will be paying your hard earned money for this. The NE Deal is worth crores of lakhs of rupees, The intermediary agents commissions bribes are no less for politicians and middlemen. Each Indian will pay atleast Rs.10/day for this NE deal. And if we adjust for the below poverty-line Indians and others enjoying subsidized or illegal power, their due should be paid by the taxpayers. If (at the most) 20% of indians are taxpayers then daily payment is not less than Rs.100/-. And all this for our politicians and their chelas. If 10% of this deal amount is given to our scientists, we can export cheaper Nuc Reactors to the develop-ed/ing world. Its a shame we have not yet build a submarine.
