The US only has national interests at the forefront of this nuke deal with India. There are many ways to become self-reliant in terms of energy - use non-renewable sources of energy like Wind, Solar, Hydro. Solar has the potential to supply electricity to every village in India. Start up costs are high but in the long term it will not matter. What is lacking is policy and incentives to encourage use of these sources of energy at the grass root level and bureaucratic level. The voice of the people of any country is enough to put pressure on any government. If a village in India wants electricity then the politicians will have to provide them with it because if they dont then they will not be in power, the next time elections are held. The US has always played big brother since the time of world war II. They want to limit the capabilities of any developing nation like ours and they will do anything to get the most essential commodity in the world - oil like they are doing in Iraq. Right now only countries rich in oil and natural gas are able to stand against the US. Russia has the worlds largest supply of natural gas reserves, Iran is the second nation after Saudi Arabia having undiscovered reserves of oil. And the US will also start a arms race to enforce their will on countries - look at Nigeria - the US supplies arms to the nigerian militia to keep them away from attacking american oil refineries. The CIA is the biggest terrorist organization serving their own interests
