Advantage
 A capitalistwill notbe furtherrich.
 So manyworkersare savedfrom exploitation.
 No CO2 emissions,soEnvironmentalsostayssafe.
 No use of forestland,soforestsandall animalsinitalsostay safe.
 Also, we must thank the bureaucrats who couldnotacquire the land eversince the process
beganfive yearsback.
Or should we?Actuallythe consequencesare:
1. All those whocouldhave got employmentinthe plantproper,will staywithoutjobs.
2. All those whowouldhave constructedthe plant,wouldstayjobless.
3. All those companieswhowouldhave suppliedthe equipmenttothe plant,will notgetthe
orders,therefore won’thire more,orwouldevenlayoff those alreadyworkingthere.
4. The companythat wouldhave laidthe transmissionline willnotgetthe order,and would
therefore eitherwouldnothire more,orevenlayoff the workers.
5. Those who wouldhave workedinthe coal mine supplyingthe coal tothe plant,wouldnotget
jobs.
6. Those who wouldhave laidthe Railwaylinetothe plant,wouldnotgetjobs.
7. The plantwouldhave hada hospital also.Those doctorswouldnotgetthe jobs,Nor the
nurses. Nursesmayhave togo to Gulf,to be kidnapped.
8. The plantwouldhave hada school also.Those teacherswouldnotgetthe job.In most cases,
plantschoolsadmitlocal childrenalso.Theywillnotgeta moderneducation.
9. The plantwouldhave hada shoppingcentre also.Those shopkeeperswouldremain
jobless.Sowouldthose whocouldhave suppliedtothem.
10. Those workinginthe plantwouldhave takenflightstoRanchi.Thatmanyseatswould
remainunsold.Airlineswouldgooutof business,renderingitsemployeesjobless.
11. All the truckers,busdrivers,taxi drivers,whowouldhave servedthe plantanditsstaff,
wouldremainjobless.
12. Jharkhandgovernmentwouldnotcollectall those taxes.Itsexpenditure oncourts,police,
roads will suffer.

3. 13. Thismuch electricitywill remainunavailable.All those businesseswhichcouldhave runonit
wouldremainunopened/under-utilised.
When an industry is so blocked, paralysis travels in all directions. Except to the politicians and
bureaucrats. Politicians get to institute that many more freebies to all those who stay jobless, and
bureaucrats would earn huge amounts dispensing those freebies.
And that is how we are supposed to compete with China?Eventually societies become too stupid
to survive.
