This paper explains that, over the last fifty years, the most significant shift in India's
energy consumption was the replacement of non-commercial energy with commercial energy, generated frequently from oil, which is being compromised by the ever-increasing cost of oil. The author points out that India's
nuclear power program is poised to take off rapidly because of the accelerated rate of growth of India's economy and its ever increasing need for reasonable priced energy. The paper relates that the Indo-U.S. agreement on the Nuclear energy is largely a result of President Bush's strong commitment to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, to cutting back emissions of greenhouse gases and to cutting radioactive nuclear wastes, which marks the beginning of a new era of geo-politics to rebuild a balance of power in Asia vis-a-vis China and Pakistan.
