I am a citizen of India,Karnataka,Bangalore. We have been facing huge shortages of power. This is not something that will be temporary. The changing climate of the world has forced this upon us. We are seeing the first glimpses of This phenomenon all over the nation. We are getting rainfall when we shouldn't . We see rains when we shouldn't be seeing them. We have cold summers and hot winters. All these poin to only one thing we can never depend on mother nature for our energy resources. We need to find an alternative. And the way the americans are poluting the world with their gasoline vehicles means that things will get worse soon.

Our Atomic department has failed us. Like the Space department they had a good beginning but lost way soon after they were denies any information about advances around the globe. Our plans for using thorium are brilliant. All we need are working plutonium reactors. But this is something no one has been able to do. If we are to be independent of nature's grim's and fancies we need to do something on a large scale like the americans did with their moon journeys. We have two options in front of us :-
1. We invest heavily into The DAE and hope they figure out a way of the plutonium reactors.
2. Make a similar investment in building and operationalizing Nuclear Reactors With the help of people who have already done them.

The first point will take a lot of time to conceive as we will have to reinvent the wheel again.
The second point is more pragmatic, In the interests of the nation you must do something that India has never seen since Vallabhai Patel. A grand scheme is required to save the nation from the vagaries of nature that will soon follow. You must let your Memebers of Parliament to decide what is good for the nation and to use their brains and the nature's future in mind.
The advantage of nuclear fuel is that a very small anount of fuel (in grams) can power entire cities for an year !
There is no such powerful fuel apart from anti-matter.

Please do help the nation by doing what is good for it and not what is good for your part. A patriot does not think of what happens to him as long as the nation lives /happily.
