My opinion from my Facebook wall of today, 11th December, 2014:
This is my totally transparent and stated Opinion on Nuclear Energy and India:
Regarding military purposes, it might be a necessary evil in the interim while we try to work towards universal global nuclear disarmament.
Regarding civil nuclear energy (ie., for electricity, power etc.): In India, it is highly avoidable, and not advisable. The more such facilities that we open, the greater is the probability of hazards and disasters. It is a highly unnecessary high-risk and highly polluting activity if you look at the entire chain from production to disposal.
My opposition to civil nuclear energy in India also revolves around the existence of alternatives. This is an approach that also takes inter-generational equity into consideration.
Thus, i do not approve of the planned co-operation on civil nuclear energy between India and Russia, and would hope that the countries channel these resources to other beneficial areas such as the peaceful uses of outer space.
