I understand the dislike of the current AL government, but don't you are being a bit too paranoid? I am not sure if this gas network is feasible for Bangladesh, but we can analyze the option. The pricing mechanism needs to be very clear, fair and feasible.
Bangladesh desperately needs energy, regardless. <

Paranoid? far from it. In fact, other than surface view you obviously have no clue what I have stated. Do you really think Bangladesh will get gas from Iran or central asia through india? From strategic and deman/supply standpoint there is no scope for getting gas through this so called gas grid. Do a little bit of research on gas price and then add transit fee, pipeline cost etc. Then come back and talk about the price.
Rather than wasting time on something india wants Bangladesh to engage in just so we are distracted, sooner Bangladesh get close to reality and explore realistic options better Bangladesh would be. Realistic option would be getting gas from Myanmar, given political willingness is there and boundary dispute subsided. But offcource india also contending for same gas from Myanmar. And if Bangladesh get distracted in some unrealistic plan india has hatched, its an easy ride for india to take Myanmar gas.
Then comes LNG option; for that private sector has made some move and could be useful for many types of use in Bangladesh.
There is no alternative to give BAPEX more money and resource so more discoveries can be made.
For home use there is no alternative but using solar energy.
We have vast reserve of coal, more local and high quality coal should be used for power generation as alternative to gas than imported low quality coal.
For nuclear power, if Awami reagime followed through what BNP had agreement with China we would seen some meaningful progress by now.
