Canada produces hydro electricity and exports it to USA to the mutual benefit of both. A good number of nuclear and non-nuclear power plants can be viewed thronging the borders of central and east European countries, producing electricity and catering to the needs of neighbouring countries. The economy is both supplementary and complementary.

Why can't we emulate the above-mentioned models? Nepal, Bhutan etc. are rich in hydroelectric resources. They can generate electricity and we can import from them.

Why can't we be good friends and neighbours?
