No body is misleading. With the Nuclear Deal, we the people of India will get uninterrupted fuel, hence hopefully there will be no power cuts. We are facing power shortage. The supporting parties and others who are opposing to this will not understand the plight of common man. There can no improvements/developments in technology without electricity. Pl understand this and do something good for the country.

You are incorrect Mr Raman. Myth #11: India needs more nuclear power to assure its energy future.
Fact: Nuclear power has been virtually insignificant in India’s energy mix in the past, and will be no more important in the future. India has been generating electricity with nuclear reactors for more than 40 years. Yet, reactors supply only 2% to 3% of its electricity today. India has not built more reactors because they have not turned out to be as safe, or as clean, or – most important – as economical as originally thought. Even if India were to achieve a 50% increase in nuclear power generation (which is unlikely) such a step would only increase India’s overall electricity output by one percent at most, and would only increase India’s overall energy output by a fraction of one percent. That is not a significant increase in the energy available to India and would not decrease India’s demand for oil and gas.

By 2030 Nuclear energy can account for only 5% of India's total energy deals.......That also at 3-5 times the conventional cost

Words look promising. But in reality, we gain nothing except to beg for nuclear fuel. Why PM and C Rice issue different statements whether we are bound by Hyde act or not? Why PM has to rush to IAEA without getting parliament approval? Can we do further nuclear tests? Why US wants to shut down their own nuclear plants? When Plutonium power plants are better option, why US wants to sell us old technology? Many questions need to be answered. Do you know at what cost power will be supplied? (estimated roughly 70% higher than thermal power plants). You are actually misled by the UPA campaign.
