Obama to launch clean energy initiative in India

Khaleej Times

The US and India will announce a joint effort to form a center for the development of clean energy. The announcement is expected to occur during Obama's visit to India. Both governments and private organizations are anticipated to provide funding for this project.

This comes amidst difficulties surrounding settling on an agreement for the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at reducing pollution internationally. Obama has attempted to push China and India into forms of energy cleaner than the coal most widely used; however, the US congress has been unwilling to impose restrictions on carbon on a nation-wide scale.
