The Indian Government should analyse all aspects of this deal before blindly signing. Congress is showing an undue urgency and putting forward all sorts of arguements in favour of this deal.Not a single treaty with USA had been beneficial to India earlier and it would remain to be so in future also.
Rather than shelling out so much money for this, divert the same amount in exploiting the Uranium reserves India is having and also exploit the full potential of the Hydro power option and thermal power option too.
At least if our intelligent politicians of all the parties could take the country to the present state of affairs we can very well spent another few years in giving time to our scientists and physicists for finding out a better option. The sky will not come down.

What do you mean by undue urgency you moron? Do you know that we are running out of time? We have to ratify the deal before Bush goes out of power. We have wasted enough time in analysing all aspects. NOW is the time to sign the deal without blinking. The deal is good for India.

So you think that you are more patriotic than Manmohan singh? or do yo think you know more about nuclear technology than him? The deal provides us with the civillian nuclear technology than we can use for our future energy demands. If China has gone ahead with the same deal why cant we?

We are not here to do whatever China does. First of all MMS is no expert either on Nuclear aspect nor on energy demands so stop just using his name to justify the deal. We can build our own civilian nuclear energy infrastructure on the basis of Thorium based reactors in coming 7-10 years easily. Once you sign uranium based N-technology you are dependent on the cartell of uranium supplying countries like Australia, Canada and USA and they can twist our arms easily. India can cope with its energy demands by using alternative sources meanwhile, like Solar, Wind and bio-fuel options. N-deal is going to curtail our freedom of our military nuclear program and that is must for deterence against pak and china. Instead of shouting like a kid in the classroom comeup with your own opinions and ideas.

The deal has plenty of positive and negative aspects, which you can learn through different websites and newscasters. Irrespective of time restrictions, it needs thorough study.
