Now you will start factoring in the probability of a failure. At which point, after investigating the geological and other factors, you will hopefully realize the killer legacy our current incumbent in the PMO is hell bent on leaving for our children.
Well said.
There was a similiar strawman argument "more people die of shark bites than nuclear accidents''. Ofcourse ofcourse. BUT the death rate is near 100% when your boat meets with an accident in shark infested waters. And more importantly it stops with you. You see, your wife on the beach does not get killed 30 years later automagically.
Unfortunately one has to deal with these type of factually wrong statements all the while.
Accept the fact that Nuclear technology is here to stay. Now you have two options.
One, be extreme in your views and actions and be cut off from any chances of using your knowledge to shape Govt. policies and actions.
Two, follow the middle path to let projects happen but keeping in mind all safety and humanitarian aspects that will arise from them, make the Govt. comply to these first.
By the way, how many nay sayers of UID on this list have actually met NN of Infosys and held long discussions on this UID matter? Has he responded negatively?
