Quote:
"To progress, India needs electric power. The current extreme power
shortage in the country has to be relieved, either via coal-fired
plants or nuclear power. The former is a bad option. One truly has to
witness Beijing's air pollution to grasp the full scope of the
coal-burning option. Oil is already in short supply and should be
ruled out as an option.
The nuclear option along with the latest technological
innovations, including cold fusion when it is ready, is the only way
to go. For India it would be foolhardy to miss this opportunity at
the insistence of the communists. . . ."
