Hello Goanetters,
This has been the headline in most of the world! Nothing on Goanet as yet!
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor is to be built and
located in the South of France. Six participating nations decided after much
deliberations, in Moscow, on the location from the two contenders, namely
France and Japan for hosting the Reactor for Fusion Energy. As soon as the
fine print of the agreement is accepted and signed by the participating
countries, the construction of the facility will start by the end of this
year.
The six countries are the EU, Russia, Japan, South Korea, China and the USA.
The site in France in the EU has been chosen, for a host of reasons,
including the fact that there already is a typical facility there; and is
close to France's second largest city, and the ideal and pleasant climate in
the region. It will take a long time to complete and the results of the
successful research/ experiment will only be available in 2010 or so for
commercial use in power generation etc.
Google for more detail news and keep informed. This sort of co-operation and
enthusiasm on the part of six nations' technology coming together, to
explore the 'energy reality of the future' is simply phenominal, being a
united effort towards a common goal of clean and limitless energy; Some
understanding has been arrived at with Japan as the other 'Host Nation', who
lost out, on the location decision.
The six nations have come together on the basis of their technology and
advanced knowledge in this field. No mention of India even as a future
interested nation.
So where is India??? Is India only concentrating on IT software? China, I
believe is far ahead of India in IT hardware; and has proved itself in other
technologies. Yet the Preident of India tried to boast that Indians should
think of themselves as a developed Country. As for Goa the situation is much
worse! The Govt. depatment is still trying to learn how to handle electric
power and distribute the same. What an advance this is! Then we invite the
foreign tourists and give them candles and torches to cope with loss of
power! The frequency of power failures in Goa may be elligible for Guiness
World Record! And then Parrikar has told us that Goa has a surplus of power;
as a result the lights go dim during the evenings and damages all round !
Hindutva at its best! Hah Ha!
I wonder what the IITians have learnt! Only theory without the knowledge to
implement? Roads and Bridges to serve one season? Parrikar please 'Hang Down
Your Head' in shame and exile yourself into the Ocean. Good riddance of bad
rubbish!
