Stop new nuclear projects, Aruna Roy urges Sonia Gandhi

[panduranghari]

This isn't 80s, it's 2012, engineers are having far more better technologies now. And govt has a lot of open spaces where they can easily setup such plants. Such extreme socialist mentality will never let our nation grow. Nuke power is future, we don't have much coal or gas for producing power.We need alternatives and this is the best alternative available now.

We need 5 nuclear power plants in every state. We need the Japanese Shinkansen 'bullet train' going from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh criss crossing the length and breadth of the country.

The day I mean to say stop all nuke plants and stop all thermal plants, I will make it explicit and unambiguous. At this point, you quoted post #9. Have you seen me say that, or asking for ensuring safety in nuke plants is same as stopping all nuke plants? What next, if I ask you to put on your seat belts while driving, you are going to accuse me of preventing you from driving?

Read the title of the thread.
Although you mentioned safety and regulations, you also said -

Aruna Roy is not Arundhati Roy. She is doing a fine job, so let her do her job.

She was doing a fine job until she was appointed to NAC. Asking Sonia to stop N Power projects without suggesting a viable alternative does not appear to be her the best fulfillment of her job in my view.
