We are heading towards extinction only. Piraba is helping the governments to accelerate the ethnic cleansing for the last 23 years.

Thanks for your honestly written article, you are great. While the projet in Noraicholai is being carried out and both the governments has agreed to intergrate the National grids of both the countries this project is definitely for ethnic cleansing only. Our total electricity production is 2434 MWs and Tamilnadu states’ total production is about 11000MWs and in that 3100MW is prodiced by Wind Turbines. Total production of wind energy produced in California state is 2361 MWs and they started about 10 years before Tamilnadu. In Sri Lanka heavy wind blowing areas like Tamil Nadu is Southern province, Putlam District and mannar District and we will be able to produce at least 10000 MW very easily. The wind blows only 6 months. So because we are intergrated witn Indian grid we can give the surplus electricity to India during heavy blow and borrow it from them when there in no wind. In adition to that we have wave power around our Island which is eroting our coast. Wave power is 1000 times more powerful than wind per sq.meter so even if we design a plant and produce locally it could produce lot of electricity. In adition to that the government knew we are going to produce natural gas from the oil field in the Cavery region in couple of years. Gas and Nuclear powered plants are non poluting fuels used in electic production. America is the largest poluter of the atmosphere. Nearly 80% of the electricity produced in America is by coal. That is why they are refucing to comply with Kyoto protocol. Now the fast melting of Northpol ice has made them to compromise. Recently President bush has hinted about coporating to stop global warming. The reason is Nothern ice acted as a natural barrier from Ex USSR. If the water become easily navigatabele Russian Subs and war ships could line up along the nothern canedian border. So it is important to protect the ice from melting. So if America comply with Kyoto protocol they will force other countries to switch to non-poluting energy like nuclear but they will not allow us to process it in our own . We have lot of Thorium in Hambanthota. India has already tried in developing Thorium as nuclear fuel and succeded. Once they have started using it we too can use our own thorium with theie help. Like the jurnalist wrote Indians has no idea to build 50 power plants in Sampur and export it to India. They want to switch to nuclear and natural gas. That is why they are trying to put the gas pipe line from Iran.
A Danish company,the producer of best wind turbine of the world is having a factory in Tamilnadu to make for low cost. Now in Denmark they make above 2MW windmills only. Below 2MW are made in Tamilnadu only. When a german company wanted to buy 2MW plants when they were told thay have Made in India label they were reluctant to buy it but they are almost like made in Denmark. We must be luckey to be so close to Tamilnadu coast because transporting those plant even as parts by even ship is very difficult because they are so huge. We don’t need even ships to transport. Parts by parts we can transport them from Tutucorin to puttlam by Catamaran only.
As my friend Devinda said the government is not starting this project to develop East. East is usin only 4% of Electricity, ie 87MWs. They are going to take it to Anuradapura and connect it to the National grid only. Caol plat in Noraicholai wouldn”
t affect the envioment much like Trinco because it is an open land and the wind blows heavyly. Trinco is a populated area and not much wind. The gas emitted from the coal power plant contains Co2.Co,Mercury,Arsenic Zinc,Thorium,Uraniam etc. When the people breath this air these poisonous substances are going to remain in their lungs and cause cancer and Athsma. When the rain falls it will be acid rain and every agricultural product is going to be poisonous.
If there is no obtion and they have to use only coal means the best place is the corner of Yala National park because the Southwest wind and Northeast wind will take tha smoke into the sea.

Now everybody new LTTE can’t clear the whole of Northeast, at least if they can clear the Sampur from the Military and go for negotiation it will be something. Otherwise Pirabaharan has to quit fighting and pave the way for the others to do something.

Thamilnadu is only a state within the Union Territory of India,and is not influential in matters of foreign policy etc.It cannot stop the Sampoor power plant project.

Further India wants a strong foothold in Srilanka,while.Srilanka expects by ‘allocating’ Trincomalee to Indian interests it could secure the vital instalation such as the Navy base Prima flour factory etc.

Whether the L.T.T.E.could dislodge the Srilankan forces completely from Sampoor…no civilian can predict.

But on humatarian grounds and India being the largest democratic country in the World,it has a moral obligation towards the displaced inhabitants of Sampoor,to ensure they are adequately compensated. before commencement of the project.

The Jaffna Thamil diaspora who are financing the L.T.T.E. are they concerned?

Finally the power crisis has reached breaking point in Srilanka.Since fierce opposition is not possible unlike Noraicholai,the government will overcome such resistence with ease.
There is only one chance of scrapping this project.If there is a ceasefire… in the near future and if the L.T.T.E. and the government is geniune ,then the scrapping of the Sampoor power Plant may be put forward as a pre condition.

If not the inhabitants of Sampoor are going to loose Sampoor for ever!.
