At long last India is moving closer to the economic powers that really matter. We have had a very long period of being close to the wrong kind of powers like Russia, China, Iran etc. With the growing economic ties between the USA and India we are now moving away from the nations that have failed to develop economically. Japan stands next only to the USA in economic importance according to the Global Policy Forum. The power situation is going to get worse in the next few years and the only alternative is to generate more nuclear power. India should be following the example of USA and France that have taken the nuclear route to generate a substantial amount of the total power they produce. According to latest statistics India ranks 18th in the pecking order of nuclear power generation. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_eco_imp-economy-economic-importance#definition
