Subject: Goa polluted by Karnataka?
Dear Floriano,
Yesterday I had attended a technical lecture on renewable sources of
electrical energy when I learnt that the United States is largely phasing
out nuclear power plants
As a result of a Google Search I have found the following graph for the US
in 2005:
One can raise a legitimate question as to when renewable sources of energy
are available in India in a big way (wind generators) why has Manmohan Singh
signed a nuclear deal with the US?
A gentleman present at the lecture yesterday, half Goan, enlightened me that
just outside the Goa border at Majali a huge nuclear generating station has
appeared and the surrounding area, once landscaped with lush forests on
hills, is now denuded, there is massive soil erosion, rain clouds are less
attracted, and nuclear waste is being dumped into the sea resulting in sea
pollution and contamination of fish in Goa.
Are the people of Goa aware of this development and, if so, what are they
doing about it?
Kind regards,
John
