N-deal Will Help India Launch Second Green Revolution: Rice
The India-US civil nuclear deal will help New Delhi meet its people's economic aspirations by launching a second Green Revolution, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said here Thursday.

Opening a US sponsored meeting of major economies, she cited the agreement as an example of partnerships it has forged with developing countries "to overcome the challenge of climate change and transform our world".

"With India, we have negotiated an agreement to open a path of cooperation on civil nuclear energy and technology," Rice said without referring to the storm it has run into in New Delhi with opposition from the Indian government's left supporters.

"Once finalised, this agreement will help one of the world's fastest growing energy consumers to meet its people's economic aspirations by launching a second Green Revolution," she said.

Similarly with Brazil, the US is working to tap the enormous potential of biofuels - both to meet its energy needs and to help developing nations in the Americas to meet theirs, Rice said.

"And in Asia, we helped to bring the two largest developing countries, China and India, together with other regional states to form the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate," she said.

"Working with major global leaders of private industry, our governments are seeking to share new energy technologies that can fuel economic development and that is both sustainable and environmentally sound," she said.

Rice met India's External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee in New York Wednesday, but neither side would say whether the nuclear deal figured in their discussions.
