Is Rant on Nuclear Power Generation in India justified?

India, presently, has the capacity to produce 1,35,000 MW of power out of total installed capacity of 162,366 MW. With expected 9% economic growth, the requirement of power by year 2030 will be 4,50,000 MW. At present, about 70% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power plants, 21% by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear power plants, 5% by other renewable energy systems such as Solar, Wind and Biomass.
