Energy is essential for the economic growth of a nation. Its
absence or deficiency makes a nation highly vulnerable to
international arms twisting as well as internal disturbances. As
such, it is an important element in a nation's security matrix.
India which is in the lower half of the countries as far as the
energy consumption per capita is concerned. One of major reasons is
the gap between the demand and the capacity of the country to
supply the energy from indigenous sources. One of the important
sources that hold promise in Indian context is the nuclear energy
as it is clean and the resource; thorium to produce power through
this route is available indigenously. However despite a well
developed plan for energy conversion in place, using indigenous
resources for over half a century, it is still considered only
promising. Relevant questions in this regard are; whether perceived
promise is realizable? If so, in what time frame and at what cost?
Will it be safe keeping in view its capacity to cause wide spread
devastation? Is there a need to seek technical collaboration with
other countries or will it be better to go indigenous route only?
How do we tackle the widening demand- supply gap during the
interim? And finally is there a case for a review for the existing
decision loop/energy management system? An attempt has been made in
this book to address these issues. It is also expected that the
concept advocated in this book for achieving energy security for
India by 2030 will initiate a wider debate on the subject.
