This
year the theme of the WFD is Globalization and Nuclear Free World.
Globalization is a free movement of capital to make prfit by a few at the
expense of the vast majority who do not have the basic needs in life. There is
no question of justice and morality. By hook or by crook they make profit. Corruption and price rise
are pat and parcel of this profit making. Destruction of environment and
emission of carbon dioxide is organically linked with this profiteering. MNCs,
Ruling class and Politicians are the main collaborators in this profiteering.

80%
of the wealth are in the hands of 20% of people in the World. Out of this about
6000 billioners are wielding power and politics all over the world. This was
the end result of Colonialism The new Globalization is the new competion among
the MNCs to take away even the 20% of the wealth in the hands of 80%.

How
do the few maintain to keep this accummulation of wealth in the hands of a few?
It is through an unreflective educational system. There is no understanding of
the structural system of our socio-economic-political system today. So the
system has been perpetuated by the ruling class. This is legitimised by the law
of private property. Further it is protected by police, army and Mass
destructive weapons like nuclear energy and atomic weapons. This is called
maintaining law and order.

In
1962 atomic energy act was passed. It comes under defense so that we cannot
demand any audited report.Till today only about 4000 MW nuclear energy was
produced. On the other hand about one lakh crores of rupees was spent on Atomic
Energy Establishments. It is obvious from these that GOI has not been trying to
produce nuclear electricity but the interest was to produce atomic weapons.

Nuclear
waste and nuclear production are closely connected with sea, fish and fisher
people. By 2025 GOI wants to establish 40 plants and produce 20000 MW. By then
the entire sea will be under Radiation Cover of Nuclear Plants. Since Chernobyl
Accident of Nuclear Plant in Russiain 1986, 92 lakhs Children were born deformed until
today. After Fukushima accident in Japan, 2011, Japan is closing down all the
nuclear plants. Germany is closing down all the nuclear plants, and many other
countries are following their suit except
China, India, Russia and Pakistan.

If
we want more electricity there are many other ways, If we transmit present 20 lakhs
MW electricity is transmitted through underground cable we can save 30%
electricity. If we convert lighting to CFL bulbs and LED bulbs we can save 30%
electricity. We can easily make Solar Elecrtricity 60000 MW within 5 years if
we invest on this. We can produce the same amount of Electricity within 5 years
from Wind energy. We can have the cheapest electricity from the Boi-mass waste
from the kitchen, toilets and agriculture waste..
