India: Deal Maker or Deal Breaker?

Duration

30:35

India plays a critical role in the global climate chess game. It’s hard line stance has been softening slightly recently as the Copenhagen negotiations approach.
What is India’s approach to the international negotiations? What are the prospects for reforming its electricity sector? How is clean technology faring in India now?
These questions are addressed by Varun Rai, a Research Fellow at Stanford University’s Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, and Alexis Ringwald,
a co-founder of Valence Energy and a co-organizer of the Climate Solutions Road Tour in India.
