	Yes, we are living a luxurious life. Can we stop all our air conditioners at home, office and car?

	Sarabjeet Singh Johar \| Argues in support of "Yes, India has to continue the path with nuclear energy" \| 1 year ago
	Well for you it might be my ego for me its logical and rational thinking. Both stand their ground firm. Even i could argue its your ignorance thats playing.

	Ravindra Sharma \| Argues in support of "Nuclear is dangerous. We shall learn to live with power cuts" \| 1 year ago
	Have we sufficiently worked with tapping of Solar and wind energy? Have we looked at the possibility of electricity from bio-waste? Are we investing in any research to find more alternates? Are we looking to ensure our buildings are eco-friendly...

Thorium- A Safer Nuclear Alternative?

(rate this)

Amidst the darkening clamor over global warming, declining fossil fuel reserves, conflicts over oil supplies, and rumors of heavy-handed governmental attempts to curb our carbon-hungry lifestyles, a welcome glow of hope is emerging on the energy technology horizon. To most viewers, it looks green, or at least 'greenish.' And--perhaps surprisingly to those of us who remember Three Mile Island and Chernobyl--it's radioactive. If green nukes are even half as promising as their proponents claim, then supporting their development may be our best hope for a sane, sustainable, and abundant energy future. So how does it work? Thorium is a heavy, silvery-looking metal similar to uranium but, althoug...

	Good post Jabir. As you have mentioned, we have to exercise thoughtful and open discussion of all aspects of the choice of Thorium vis-a-vis Uranium. As far as availability of Thorium in India is concerned, its abundant. But political and...

ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAN BE FUNNY

Activity: 87 referals , 5 comments, 82 views

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably, because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls. Now consider a gathering of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ....... a Congress ! And, of course, the well known collective noun for a group of owls: PARLIAMENT! PS: Pl read it for fun only and without any political trappings. That's why I have put it in "OTHERS" category of Industry and not "POLITICS".

IMPORTANT ADVISORY

Activity: 100 referals , 3 comments, 28 views

IMPORTANT ADVISORY Do not open any message with an attachment called:"Invitation FACEBOOK", regardless of who sent it. It is a virus that opens an Olympic torch that burns the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone you had in your address book. That's why you should send this message to all your contacts. It is better to receive this email 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. If you receive E-MAIL called: "Invitation FACEBOOK", though sent by a friend, do not open it and delete it immediately. CNN said it is a new virus discovered recently and that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. It is a Trojan Horse that asks you to install an adobe flash plug-in. Once you install it, it's all over. And there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information of their function is saved. Do not open any message with an...

SOME MORE QUESTIONS ON JAN LOKPAL BILL

Activity: 1194 referals , 10 comments, 358 views

I refuse to respond to TROLLS. Pl see my earlier post on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COMPANY THAT ANNA HAZARE KEEPS and as you read some of the ballistic comments you will understand what I mean. As Sachin says "Let my bat do the talking", so here I am with another food for thought on Anna Hazare's campaign. I have stated that earlier, and I repeat ad nauseam now also, that I have no doubt in my mind that Anna's campaign is the bitter medicine that this scams-ridden nation and the UPA II government badly need. He is doing a good job -- the scavenger's job. The nation should be grateful to him and I salute his spirit and his well-meaning intent. More than anyone else, it is ANNA HAZARE who needs to be given BHARAT RATNA. Anna ji hi hain aaj ke asli Gandhi. However, journalism has taught me an important thing: never to get bowled over by one side howsoever convincing and appealing that side might be. So here I am with some more questions. I repeat once again that these probing...

Day Trading

Activity: 9 referals , 1 comments, 314 views

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet. First of all let me give you few tips that you must follow if you are going...
