“The Draft EIA Notification 2020 protects both environment and jobs. Its critics are barking up the wrong tree

By Rajiv Kumar and Saloni Goel

The Draft EIA Notification, published for public consultation on March 12, 2020, has received well over a lakh comments, and a thriving public debate is underway. Some commentary is of dubious nature, politicising the issue when it’s vital to maintain a balance between the twin policy goals of generating employment and protecting our environment. “ End of quote.

Comment  by R. Ashok Kumar

The environment also includes people whose right is to have jobs! Modern civilization, a society of specialists profiteers at the cost of all life! It is profitable to separate out generating employment and protecting our environment and in the process create jobless growth and destruction of the environment so that life cannot breathe. So the various specialisations created long unverified chains of production and consumption without ever thinking about the wastes so created so they could not even be returned to the earth, in a way acceptable to her. However, none of the nations ever departed from the path of modern civilization whose starting point is that the earth consists of separate elements which must be mined to create an infinitely inferior economy of separate contraptions.  Compare this to nature’s  zero cost gross natural produce by reproduction, through the extra-terrestrial source called the sun, based on truth or public interest science. The mechanism is to produce and use where it is required, when it is required, through the enjoyable use of the sun through living energy, returning what has been taken without ever creating wastes, with all-inclusive participation of diverse but rigidly interconnected biota and abiota including the human species!  Nature including the humans has made this a successful though inscrutable feat through evolution. Imitate nature beyond understanding!

This blind unquestioning surge into modern civilization by industrial revolution based on vested interest science was given a stiff warning in 1908 by Mahatma Gandhi in his 1908 thesis which appeared in his book Hind Swaraj. And of course there is the timeless authorless warning in the Bhagavadgita. It did not stop at M.K. Gandhi. There is Kurt Goedel and his thesis on sets:

Suppose a great lot of sets exist of mutually exclusive ways in which the separate sets of modern civilization’s infrastructure and contraptions and nature (man is a part) interact resulting in unacceptable danger to the public and other life. Designing modern civilization’s contraptions based on vested interest science will externalize unprofitable inconvenient but recognized omnicidal  dangers. Even if all these sets are factored into the design,  it follows from Goedel(4) that there will be also be a set containing exactly one member from each set which may, by the precautionary principle, also be unacceptably unsafe. This was and is and will be ignored by the designers within the specialist frameworks of modern civilization.  Thus as time goes on we can never be clear of the sets and the one more set, then one more set and so on. When such sets are infinite in number, the Gita has a piece of guidance to offer: There is true knowledge, learn thou it is this: To see one changeless life in all the lives, in the separate, the inseparable. Thus all the elements of modern civilization are rigidly interconnected with nature and you can see that the safety problem  is just too difficult to solve, with the cumulative effects of modern civilization already leading us to extinction. Mahatma Gandhi quickly and perspicaciously saw through the fraud of modern civilization and remarked in 1908: Given enough time modern civilization will destroy itself leading to extinction of the  species.  But ever more of the same are being craved for greedily knowing full well the Moorkhapaddhati, the suicidal omnicidal path being taken by the unsuspecting supporters of modern civilization, a society of specialists. This is the gist of the consequences of the process enunciated as policies by niti aayog cited above. Note that until implemented and in use for an uncertain period, one cannot decide whether living beings and abiota will be secure in modern civilization. But now during these centuries of modern civilization, it has become abundantly clear that it is really biological, radiological, chemical and engineered deadly warfare that has resulted in unbreathable situation that all life finds itself in(5).

Thus we see the consequences of modern civilization: The interaction of modern civilization and nature caused new Goedelian sets which  have led to the COVID19 pandemic driven by the world’s dams, the Pandamic. The cases are going up and up and the primary cases are caused by one of the mainstays of modern civilization, the dams(1). We are in the middle of the on-going man-made novel pandemic. Modern civilization as usual will only treat the symptoms and then try to buy truce via a  vaccine, if it can somehow, by application of vested interest science, aided by some luck be invented. After all the American Flu Pandemic of 1918, also caused by dams  has seen the development of Anti-flu tablets of Homeopathic system of medicine which successfully saw a dramatic reduction of kills by the flu pandemic, not the flushot which probably  is a profiteering weakening process of vested interest science.

“The Violations clause of the Notification is perhaps the most contentious clause. To clarify, a project is deemed to be in violation if it has been set up, or has undergone expansion, without obtaining the required Environmental Clearance (EC)….”

“Over and above this, Clause 22(7-10) also provides for imposition of additional stringent financial penalties. The financial burden on the violator shall comprise the burden of a remediation plan, and a resource augmentation plan that is double of ecological damage assessed and economic benefits derived. In addition, a fine for every day of continued violation shall be applicable. All clubbed together, financial penalties provided by the Notification can be significantly more stringent than those provided under Section 15 of EPA 1986.”

“This government is fully committed to resolutely protect our environment while promoting growth and employment generation for our young population. This balance has been often overlooked by ideologists of different persuasions. We cannot afford this any longer.”

Italics mine.

The clearing caused by violations cannot be undone with any amount of financial penalties. The ecological and environmental damage caused to the relicts of climax forests is irreversible. The deforestation and  destruction of ecology by killing rivers by dams is totally unacceptable.  To compensate this with the secondary successions that will probably be undertaken after the irreversible killing of the great biodiversity is infinitely inferior. Just because you can only mine where the resource is available is specialist vested interest rhetoric meaningless and devoid of any tangible restoration. Leave the relicts alone. Abandon the project which is an irreversible killer. Period.

There is another aspect of this modern civilization which is ecologically dangerously robbing away jobs uselessly. Not only is the environment irreversibly damaged and the ecology and biodiversity killed off in  positive feedback loops, but human life is taken away with infant mortality greater than birth rate by technologies such as nuclear power programmes and biotech applications to food like brinjal.  By becoming a net consumer of energy in the forseeable future, modern civilization is destroying jobs at the rate of 40 W/human. A single nuclear reactor of 1000 MW capacity supplying mills takes away the jobs of 100 million weaver-families.  In addition, for the sacrifice, society bears the burden of taking care of its radionuclide and uranium mining and milling wastes for 10000 reactor years of operation of the 1000 MW fission reactor for a million years by supplying 5-6 million MW-yrs of electricity. This is the energy supplied by the nuclear reactor for 10000 reactor years of operation. Note that the stated  nuclear wastes require a hundred million years more of care with additional energy and resource inputs for isolation from the ecosphere! Note that the uranium mining and milling wastes are devastating the ecology and environment of the mining region. The extra energy presently is supplied by a thermal, nuclear, hydro mix. The dams are complicit in causing 1)COVID19 pandemic,killing almost a million people so far,2) earthquakes and nuclear reactor damages like in Kashiwasaki Kariwa, Fukushima including pollution of the Pacific ocean, Kakrapar, Narora and climate change by direct heating up of the earth(5).

Niti Aayog should plan to abandon modern civilization recognizing its rapidly spreading omnicidal nature. Simultaneously it should plan an emergency law to create millions of jobs in millions of cooperatives managed by the people in a plan of demolishing dams and ecological  reforestation so that gross nature product matches the nation’s requirements.It should plan to implement  an appropriate  cycle in harmony with nature of production, consumption and RETURN with due input of enormous local talent available waiting to be harnessed harmoniously with nature to bring back conditions causing the genesis and support of living beings based on public interest science- on true knowledge. The world leaders must ratify a Global and local Ecology Act that must be adopted unanimously by the UN General Assembly, so as to ensure survival of all life(6).   The finances must come through a mechanism to abandon useless suicidal actions of modern civilization like nuclear energy (7).

India's policies would immensely benefit life at large by application of public interest science to tackle the COVID19 pandemic. The perfect vaccine may be immediately available for application to the public at large.
