The world has always been dependent on the fossil fuels to generate electricity,penetrating the earth crest to the extent to have the material used for the generation,its harmful effects are seen recently on the climate and all that,so the world is now speaking about the alternatives,while talking about the India,the govt has recently asked the power companies to alter the equipments and use 10% foreign imported coal along with the Indian counterpart.well that's another thing and can work a bit towards it but it cant do anything about the nature and the efficient and Eco friendly energy,however the world has been curious about using the renewable energy sources like solar and wind,they are pretty good than conventional sources a little expensive but we can adjust with it but who can adjust if there is no sun in the sky the idea of going solar fails in this context,thus there we have to use another alternative best suited for the matter,and that one is nuclear power no doubt.i was pretty excited when i heard or read about the kudankulam power plant that is about to run in a few months,as it's the latest technology in the energy generation field used by most of the developed countries.but in what manner some other people reacted was not as same as me they started protesting against the project.
the versatility of nuclear energy is obvious with the nation- France.France was facing to boost the power requirements in early of 1970s,than it went all out for nuclear energy using 58 nuclear power plants,generating energy as well as the smile on the face of french people,the whole country is smiling and it's Eiffel tower is lit up with 20,000 lights on it by an abundant supply of cheap electricity.and don't wide spread your eyes till now,here is some more to come--the green house gasses emitted per person in france are a third below the European average.80% of its energy is generated by its 58 nuclear power plants without any oil any coal and any major threat to the nature.france now exports 15% of energy to many neighbours.
the other concern about the nuclear power is it's safety but there has been only a single "chernobyl" disaster if we leave the tsunami case in japan last year,well no one can do anything against nature so there was no fault of nuclear power in that disaster in japan,but there is no emission of harmful gasses in the case of nuclear power like we have in coal plants,and hey if you are seeking safety you are not safe in your drawing room too,who knows if you die on the couch tomorrow watching you favorite team loosing to other?
so people stop protesting against this wise decision of Indian govt and start appreciating it!
