The Union government has been paying special attention for power generation through alternative methods such as Solar Power and Wind Mills apart from Nuclear Energy, according to Nellore MP, Mr Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy.
The US, which signed a nuclear agreement with India last year, is not considering the option of providing atomic energy to Pakistan as part of its efforts to resolve the energy-crisis in the country.
India needs to give a major thrust to nuclear energy to overcome power shortage and fuel economic growth, given the limitations of the conventional sources of energy, said Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
