ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, March 16 - The United States may help India build one or more nuclear power plants, even as the Bush administration objects to India's proposal to construct a natural- gas pipeline from Iran, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her aides said during a visit with Indian government leaders in New Delhi today.

Ms. Rice said the United States needed to do what it can to help India cope with its burgeoning energy needs including, it seems, doing little more than protest the plan for a pipeline from Iran. The United States maintains a trade embargo against Iran and is now engaged with Europe and the United Nations in an effort to convince Iran to end its nuclear weapons program. snip

Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons, but the administration does not chastise either of them for that. A year ago, President Bush announced a plan for greater cooperation with India, including possible aid for civilian nuclear power plants. That topic came up again today.

India will have to turn to nuclear energy: Saran


New Delhi, Mar 17 (UNI) A day after the US expressed serious concern over the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, New Delhi today said there was a need for the country to turn to nuclear energy to meet its ever increasing demand.

''We will have to turn to nuclear energy, aclean fuel, in the near future. The international community can be helpful in this regard or continue to put constraints,'' Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran said at a function here.

''There will be great difficulties in regard to nuclear energy in the future...it is going to be a bigger problem in future, but we would not like energy to be a constraint on our growth rate'' he added.
