Rice: India Needs Nuclear Energy

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice on India and nuclear energy:

"We can't say to the Indians on the one hand, you can't - - we'd rather you weren't engaged in energy relations with, for instance, Iran, but by the way, civil nuclear is closed off to you," she remarked. "We have to recognise that India is a big and important and growing economy. It will have to access civil nuclear energy if it's not to be totally dependent on carbon and if it is not to be dependent on carbon relationships with countries that we've had concerns about," Rice said.
