Thank you:)

the question is not whether China or India should reduce emissions of GHG, the question is that the USA is using their none obligation to do it as an excuse to not ratify Kyoto protocol. My question to Mr Mccain had the goal to make US stop making excuses like "if they do it we will, too"

and further the 30 odd industrialsed countries maily polluted(85%)the atmosphere and asking the poore countries to join in cleaning up. even further, they r trying to con us while we think of cleaning up others mess.....so i could be more than forgiven if im blindly cynical. n u think australia genuinely is gonna help india...why ????even if so ..i dont care-i cud be forgiven for that too.

at this day..the western contires who had colonised the world are richer and we have to have our eductaion in english..which is a major hinderence for our intellectual development.our culture and way of lifes dying. So now all the rich countries want this situation to continue and have world peace now that they are on top.and even with so much atrocoites against us..we are still peaceful and not trying to plunder or con anyone else.

lets not get into that..point is im not pissed off about that..so get that clear-im not blindly cynical.its simple becoz u havent explained why these countries are refusing/delaying to participate if it costs them the same to implemet nuke tech. u come up with statements like"i dont drive SUV" as if thats gonna win the argument for u

[blackkat888]

i realise that ur being constructive...but im also trying to point out that u do not have the perspective of the countries that ur blaming. im gonna say u have no idea since ur having it so easy here. not becoz im pissed off over 300 yrs of british + 500 years of muslim invasions to see our people subject to plundering/ethnic clensing in terms of destroying our way of life culture and knowldge.plus etec etc(u have to pardon my english eloquency)

Next time don't turn an innocent/constructive debate into an argument. And try not to be so synical of 'foreigners' whom you have never met.

[brendansjsutton]

You have considered two good cons for nuclear; one being the over dependence of a single supplier of Uranium (from the US), and finance risks inherent in over-borrowing.

Keep in mind that although not all foreigners to India have charitable intentions, there are many of us whom share the same concerns and interests as India. And as such want to work together to build a partnership to tackle this global problem (and make some money and create jobs at the same time).

Sorry mate. I was only debating on how the world (including india and china) can reduce green house gases by using Nuclear.

I think the world is in consensus that carbon emissions need to be reduced and that all countries including India and China need to participate. But where opinions vary is how we are able to achieve this. I.e. use more solar power, wind or go the nuclear solution.

no ones does each other any favour, US sees global warming as an opportunity to establish control over india's options and economy.only US does..why else did all the other countries r cool with kyoto and not US? these have to be considered as well..Its NOT SIMPLE and we r not looking to piss off the world. so dont reply saying "its SIMPLE switch to nuclear power" again. again i dont care about china coz china is a NSG and not exactly our friend in the region.

[blackkat888]

US realises that as of 1998 when india tested H bombs, india is capable of developing nuke tech..so now they wanna undo our progress by giving their technology,but taking away our independence in this. They still dont recognise us as a nuclear power..why only the 5 western countries should be nuke powers and not us?

[blackkat888]

IT gives US therightto withdraw or demand the return of fuel anytime they want without any reason while the US is well known for making amendments to suit its own national interest. india does not have any right to the amendements in the agreement. We have to borrow huge money and Pay INTEREST to buil up reactors..and in the middle US can just go..nah were not giving u any more fuel...so our investments will be wasted on this plan.
