You are clearly biased in your approach. You think you are the first person to report about the tidal research in Kerala? Sorry Buddy, it was posted on this forum a while back but not a lot of details the actual project itself. I was not aware of the Gujurat development though, if that makes you feel better. AGAIN NOBODY IS STATING GET RID OF NUCLEAR REACTORS TILL WE ESTABLISHED AN ALTERNATE, VIABLE SOURCE, GOT IT? Both technologies can be used to complement each other. By reducing the need of electricity and fossil fuels in some ways, it will allow for more energy to be used for bigger purposes. DO you know city buses in NYC are all hybrids? Im sure you are not aware of such tech and developments, thatsd why you keep on sticking to points that I have not argued about. I hate when folks ike yourself ramble about how you know this and that, but lack common sense. Anyone can read a book and gather what you dished out. YOu are confusing many points to a make your weak point, but its a point that I don;t have an issue with it. I know more nuclear reactors have to be built.
My primary concern was safety got it. The state of affairs could be a lot better. YOu never answered my question about the KI tablets? The answer to that question will the biggest cue of safety for the tamil ppl.
When China shows you how to do it, then what are going to say then. The Chinese have already stated to make their country 40-45% green .........here read up
China’s 12th Five Year Plan sets out the goals in striking detail. Green energy vehicles, environmental conservation, solar and wind power – all are to be developed, through both technology leverage and leapfrogging. It has been reported that the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in its ‘new energy industry development’ road map foresees a situation where China would be generating 1600 GW of electric power by 2020, of which no less than 500 GW would be coming from renewable energies – 300 GW from hydro, 150 GW from wind, 30 GW from biomass and 20 GW from solar photovoltaic.
By contrast the UK generates around 110 GW in total, of which coal and gas account for 75%, and renewables for less than 10%. Wind power had reached 5.9 GW in cumulative capacity in the UK by 2010, on a par with France.
As China’s green strategies build on themselves, in cumulative S-shaped industrial dynamics, where success builds on success, no less than 30% of electric power generated by 2020 is expected by the country’s leaders to be coming from renewable sources. If nuclear is added to that (reaching probably 70-100 GW by 2020) then non-fossil sources would be generating 600 GW out of 1600 GW – building up an unstoppable industrial momentum (in terms of capital invested in technology, firms, standards, supply chains and markets). This in turn would be expected to translate into export potential, first of renewable energy components, then systems, and finally of technology itself. China is the one country in the world that is promoting both renewables and nuclear – like it or not.
China's Big Bet on Green Industry - And How it Might Green the World
Dude, I'll make it simple for you. You said the protestors are justified in stopping the nuclear plant, and you asked why tidal plants are not being built. On this thread, that can only be takn to mean that you want tidal instead of nuclear. Otherwise why bring in tidal plants at all? Later you began to say we need both, and not as alternative. As long as you agree that we need nuclear plants, that part of the justification for stopping the plant is gone.
Again, you talked about fukushima disaster and said a tsunami could occur, without knowing that our french reactors are two generations ahead of the ones used in japan, and our koodankulam reactor is one generation ahead, and both have been desigend to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis.
Just because China is investing in green energy does not mean they are not using nuclear power. They are using almost as much as we are, and plan to increase their production, just like us. In fact they are building new reactors a lot faster than we are, and plan to produce more nuclear power than we plan to. So if you want to take a lesson from what China is doing, be my guest. People who object to construction there may not even be able to express themselves on a forum like this, and very probably wont see another sunrise. In your own words, "When China shows you how to do it, then what are going to say then." So all those statistics about them planning green energy are not relevant, because you fail to notice the other side of what they are doing.
The point is simple. No matter how much you invest in green energy, there is no escaping the fact that we need nuclear power. And that the plants we are building now are safe. So there is no cause to oppose, and talking about green energy etc are bogeys.

im well aware of how old the DAE. Can you without any bias show the reports on the safety on the Nuclear Reactors. A lot of it is still withheld from the public. So, where is this the Public oversight..

You think or feel the US is the best while I clearly don;t. They have made many mistakes also, and they can also learn a lot. But at least they are willing to admit mistakes and learn from it...instead of endlessly defending it to the point where they like like morons..
What makes you think that? Where did I say or suggest anything like that? Please explain.
In fact this whole post doesn't make sense, as I didn't say anything about the US or DAE so far.
