We should ideally be building more power plants to take care of or ever increasing demands. But we spend more time in opposing the decision taken by the bureaucrats and/or ministers. They decide to build a dam, we say no. Why? Forest land will vanish. Ok. They decide to build a thermal power plant, we say no again, why? Mining will destroy our forests. Ok. So they decide let build a nuclear power plant, we oppose again, why? This time we cite technical issues, environmental concerns, etc.
Now since we oppose everything and are not willing to provide alternatives we are essentially proving to be a road block in our own development.
Oh and btw, the people you fought for, the poor people in the villages don't have power for most of the day, do you know why? Because the power companies compensate the demand in cities by cutting the supply to villages.
So think again before you decide to champion an opposition for power plants!
India's obsession with protests
Today is Diwali & as I was half expecting, MSEDCL has cut the power supply. Reason mainly for this is the demand & supply gap. India's demand for power is increasing by the day as all of us start using more & more of electronic devices. On the other hand we are not able to build new power plants.We should ideally be building more power plants to take care of or ever increasing demands.
