If only India hadn't bent before anti-nuclear-energy protests, this could have been avoided.

If cost is the driver behind the decision, nuclear wouldn't stand a chance anyway.

Current government isn't known to give value to protests on more grave methods. I don't think these protests would have any impact on plan.

Happened a few years ago, not under the current govt. This is one of the things I'd like the current govt to go ahead recklessly with as it does other things, though.

Interestingly, it was the mostly NDA opposition (current govt) that had then went against nuclear plants as a political jibe.
