  1. Ek DG set sambhaal lo pehle , nuclear plant bahut door ka baat hai. Solar plant ka kya hua hai dikhta hai. Sahi mein kaam karana hai to aisa betuka idea nahi dega koi. Nuclear plant k liye nuclear fuel kaun la k dega woh bhi safety issues hai , fir maintenance bhi aata hai. Leakage will wreak havoc.
