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 nucler 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 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 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 nuclear ene

The energy addition is just 10% of total after a decade or more depending upon the time of completion of projects. There will be unsolicited delays created by 'special interests'. Total cost of the project will be around 3 lakh crores which will be invested in twenty years. The Indian financial system can not absorb such huge investment for such a short period which will create unprecedented inflation beyond imagination. Taking into account the cost addition due to decommissioning, the unit price will be Rs40/- per unit for the energy generated by the nuclear plants. The question of uninterrupted supply is doubtful. The system condition after 20 years depend heavily on other sources of supply. Unless there is a proportionate addition from other sources there is no guarantee about uninterrupted supply. The damage to the atmosphere is irreparable!! Radiation hazard is the most important problem to be considered -technically and financially. In my opinion our approach should be 'to live and to let live'. Not to be a super power and / or to rule another country. Above all we should have freedom of thinking and to act according to our consciousness.
