Perhaps one of the most heartening announcements to have come out in recent times is @narendramodi's push for nuclear. India's goal of 500 GW clean power cannot be realised without it.
A single nuclear plant powers 700,000 homes while emitting less CO₂ than a hybrid car.
Climate Change is real. But activism must be rescued from the talons of the loony Left.
1. (Nuclear plants) and Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:
France (58): 71.7%
Sweden (8): 40.3%
Switzerland (5): 37.7%
USA (99): 19.3%
Russia (37): 17.9%
India (22): 3.0%.
3.0% is pitiful. We must make it 15% by 2030.
2. Power generation is the single largest contributor (~30%) to global emissions. Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:
France: 71.7%
India: 3.0%
Carbon footprint as share of total world footprint: France: 1% (292 MMT)
India: 7% (2076 MMT)
It's a no contest. A push for developed India is incomplete without a push for nuclear.

The West poured $50 billion into fast breeder nuclear reactors and abandoned every single one. India poured $900 million and just achieved criticality on the first commercially viable one outside Russia.
The US spent $15 billion. Gave up. Japan spent $12 billion. Their Monju prototype had one sodium fire in 1995 and never recovered. The UK spent $8 billion. Germany spent $6 billion. France, Italy, all walked away. Six of the richest nations on Earth concluded this technology was too hard and too expensive to pursue.
India started building in 2004 with an initial budget of $420 million. Twenty-two years, a dozen missed deadlines, and a cost doubling later, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam just sustained a controlled fission chain reaction. The reactor is now alive.
The reason India never quit is a constraint most people have never thought about. India has only 1-2% of the world's uranium reserves. For a country of 1.4 billion people trying to build energy independence, that's a death sentence if you're running conventional nuclear.
But India has 25% of the world's thorium. The single largest national reserve on Earth.
The problem: you can't just burn thorium the way you burn uranium. A physicist named Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear program in the 1950s specifically to solve this. Stage 1: burn natural uranium in heavy water reactors, collect plutonium as a byproduct. Stage 2: feed that plutonium into fast breeder reactors, where it breeds MORE plutonium AND converts thorium into fissile uranium-233. Stage 3: burn thorium directly at scale.
India just entered Stage 2. Seventy years after Bhabha drew it up on paper.
The math on the thorium endgame is wild. At current energy consumption rates, India's thorium reserves could power the country for over 700 years. Most nuclear nations are playing a uranium game with maybe 80-100 years of runway. India is playing a completely different game with a 7x longer fuel supply.
The West quit because uranium stayed cheap and sodium coolant is terrifying. It catches fire on contact with air. It explodes on contact with water. Russia's BN-600 had 27 sodium leaks and 14 sodium fires between 1980 and 1997. And Russia kept going anyway because Russia doesn't quit nuclear projects. India watched all of that and kept going too.
When you have 1% of the uranium but 25% of the thorium, the engineering difficulty stops being a reason to quit. It becomes the price of admission to a 700-year energy supply that nobody else can access.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

🚨Last night, India switched on a reactor.
Here are 9 numbers nobody is talking about:
→ 72 years: Time since Homi Bhabha conceived this plan
→ 22 years: Time to actually build it
→ ₹7,700 crore: Final cost (started at ₹3,492 crore)
→ 500 MW: Power it will generate
→ 2nd: India's global rank only Russia had this before
→ 25%: India's share of world's thorium reserves
→ 400 years: How long those reserves can power India
→ 200+: Indian companies that built it. Zero foreign designs.
→ 3: Countries that tried and quit - USA, Germany, UK
🧵 A thread that will blow your mind:

Couldn't be a better time for THIS!!🇮🇳
India can have limitless energy using the vast thorium reserves it has via monazite sands!
Best part? Critical minerals REE including Neodymium, a Rare Earth is a byproduct.
This is the jet engine development moment of the nuclear energy world.
Thanks for keeping our scientists and engineers safe 🙏

"Modi must clean the 67y shit of INC in 15y and he must be rewarded by bringing the INC back"
Aditya Jakki@adityajakki
I am ready to give a chance to INC in 2030s once all key issues are settled by Modi, which he is doing, provided that Gandhi family leaves politics forever and INC is free of NGOfication

The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam is not just a scientific milestone.
A reactor that produces more fuel than it consumes means India is building a future where no foreign power can ever hold our energy security hostage.
And this is just Stage 2. Stage 3 unlocks our thorium reserves, the largest in the world. When that happens India will have an almost infinite domestic fuel cycle that no sanction, no trade war and no geopolitical pressure can ever touch.
The same nation that was denied nuclear technology after 1974 Pokhran has now mastered the full nuclear fuel cycle indigenously. Let that sink in.

@narendramodi This is a great achievement and a defining moment. Kudos to our scientists. Please setup a clandestine intel network that infiltrates all critical sectors to weed out anti-nationals. The method is prescribed in our shastras for ruler to ensure the integrity of the nation.

5 punti in meno del Milan 23/24.
La differenza? Quella giocò le coppe fino a fine Aprile, questa gioca 1 volta a settimana da agosto.
Pioli venne ammazzato pubblicamente da chiunque. Allegri viene inneggiato a divinità.
Ah le differenze di narrazioni e trattamenti...

@_Saffron_Girl_ Parsi here, an actual minority in India (less than 60,000 of us here in a nation of 1 billion), and I can confirm this as 100% true! No just co-exist, we’re allowed to thrive, practice our faith. There’s no religion more tolerant than Hinduism 🙏🏼🚩🇮🇳

US Airforce: We had to bomb two C-130s, but we got our pilots back from Iran.
US People : Our Military is Great, Strongest. We don't care about how many C-130s, F15s or F35 gets destroyed in the mission.
Indian Airforce: We bombed 9 Terrorist Sites, 12 Airbases and All our Pilots are back home safely.
Indian Journalist: We don't care about your mission, Your Terror Sites, Pak Air bases, Just Tell us how many Jets we lost during the mission.
