US asks India to join research on alternative energy sources

The US has invited India to join in its ‘Advanced Energy Initiative Programme’ to expand research and development to bring to market energy produced from alternative sources like ethanol, hydrogen, solar and wind technologies.

The programme outlined by US President George Bush will require the best scientists and the best engineers, said US Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman noting that many of these individuals are to be found, not in the United States, but in India.
