Of course, countries can no longer rely on the availability of the natural resources to meet the demand of electricity. More than electricity, nuclear capability has become a necessity to have a strong voice at the international platform. There is only one line of demarcation in the world now - you are either a nuclear country or a non-nuclear country - now it’s up to you to decide in which group you want to sit.

Unquestioningly, yes. Its the need of the hour for any country, if it has to sustain itself in a global perspective, to stay armed with the nukes in its kitty. Apart from constructive use, you need them to be more secured against any sort of foreign invasion and internal security.

The blind bio-fuels cultivation has created a massive food crisis. With other energy sources still at a nascent stage of development, nuclear energy seems to be the only option now.

The comity of nations (specially the big nations) will have to sit together and hammer out a pact to guide all nations’ march towards nuclear power.

Sadly, seeing the Iran issue, one must say that this seems far-fetched at present. US seems to be drifting from Russia. China is setting its own agendas. Russia is enjoying its new found oil power. None of the nations seem inclined to sit together and deal with the nuclear power dilemma.
