Liptak, Kevin. “On High-profile India Visit, Obama Says Progress Made on Nuclear Sticking Point.” CNN. Cable News Network, 25 Jan. 2015. Web. 02 Mar. 2015. <http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/24/politics/obama-india/index.html>.
In this article we read about a visit that president Obama made to india in order to talk to Indian leaders about their nuclear programs. The US government along with the indian government, have began a cooperative program which will allow for US firms to work with the indian government in developing their civilian nuclear plants. They have ran into many issues due to the lack of cooperation by the indian lawmakers but president obama and the indian prime minister stated that they had discussed the issue and had made a few steps toward setting up the plan for sure. The US hopes that the improvements that they are making here will help them in gaining improvement from the indians and balance the level of support between russia and the US.
I feel that is is good that were are traveling to other nations in order to help them in securing their plants while also providing them with state of the art equipment so that they can produce nuclear energy more efficiently and in a safer way. I also feel that we should help other countries with the development of nuclear power plants so that they can begin to change from dirty resources to something that if correctly regulated could be effective.
Do you think its a good idea to help other countries with their nuclear programs? Keep in mind, not everyone in the world can live our expensive lifestyle, we are already exhausting the planet’s resources.
would a nuclear program be better than what they already have for the environment?
Do you believe this nuclear program will actually benefit them?
I believe nuclear power would likely benefit other countries and we should help other countries put sustainable systems into place, however we need to be cautious which countries we are giving nuclear power to.
