Deepa P Gopinath questions the technocratic assumption dressed up as science, that the only 'scientific' energy option available is nuclear energy  . In a workshop session of the Peoples SAARC Assembly 2011, held at Trivandrum   the state capital of  Kerala ( India),on  8th& 9th Nov. She argues that there is a whole range of non conventional  forms of energy that are readily available on a sustainable footing ,for domestic and other normal purposes of living .Behind holding nuclear energy as the only 'scientific' answer  for future energy need, a totally misconceived notion of  what is science may be at work.
Deepa is now working as Assistant  Professor in Electronics & Communication, College of Engineering ,Thiruvananthapuram.
