Progress requires change. Change requires handling tradeoffs between different sections of society with often competing perceptions and interests. Both nuclear power and hydro-electric power have had activist opposition to development because of fears of risks. These fears in a democratic society lead to a tendency towards sticking with the safe path, until the alternatives are better proven. As an example 13% of energy in India comes from renewables, only 1% from nuclear. |
