Indian Power Shortage

Interesting tidbits from a conversation I had with a senior member of the Center for Advanced Technology (along the same lines as DARPA) –

The capital, Delhi, only meets 32% of it’s energy requirements.

India as a whole is facing a shortage of about 88,000 megawatts. The Indo-American nuclear deal would cover about 12,000 of that.

India plans on building Thorium processing nuclear energy plants (there’s no nuclear waste material with an ADS based approach).
