Thorium and India's energy independence: forbes. So far India has managed to screw up royally on fast-breeders, of course

sep 16th, 2011 CE

my suspicion is that there isn't enough money to be made (yet) in thorium reactors. as far as the politicians are concerned, it's a lot easier to make the big bucks via corruption in a) nuclear fission, b) oil. therefore, being rational economic beings, they are not interested in thorium

OT: Widespread corruption in the Congress government seems to be an open secret in Andhra Pradesh but the political impact is unclear, the Consul General said.

While the housing programme will cost four to six billion dollars, the irrigation programme costs more than 11 billion dollars over five years on 26 major irrigation projects, the US cable said.

The Consul General said "many elites are disgusted by the level of corruption in the Congress government. The sheer size of Reddy's signature programmes, with literally billions of dollars at play every year, leaves much room for leakage to Congress party officials and their allies".
