Sujay Mehdudia India very much willing to go ahead with the deal, says Murli Deora India to hold talks with Pakistan on transit issue Energy security remains our priority, says Minister Drawing flak from the Left for "moving slow' on the $7.4-billion Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, the government on Monday said it was hopeful of getting started on the much delayed trilateral talks in the next few weeks. Iran has sought three weeks to finalise all details.
India, Pakistan and Iran are likely to meet next month in Tehran to resolve differences over the $7.5-billion gas pipeline that was first proposed in 1994. Petroleum Minister Murli Deora met Iran's Oil Minister, Gholam Hosein Nozari, on the sidelines of a meeting of the world's oil producers and consumers in Jeddah on Sunday, and agreed to the proposal for a trilateral meeting in Tehran next month.

by Larry Rohter When VeraSun Energy inaugurated a new ethanol processing plant last summer in Charles City, Iowa, some of that industry's most prominent boosters showed up.

Union finance minister P. Chidambaram did well to make it clear at the conference of oil producers and consumers in Jeddah that it was not the rising demand for oil in India and other developing countries that was contributing to the spiralling rise in crude prices. It is unfair to blame India's demand for crude oil as one of the reasons for the spike in crude prices. India's growth story is not a six-month-old story or even a one-year-old story. Crude prices have gone up by $140 a barrel in just a year, and by almost 40 per cent in the past six months.
Thomas W Evans The US president has the power to attack, and perhaps destroy, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the illegal cartel that has driven the price of oil over $130 per barrel. This can be accomplished without invasion or bombing. No special legislation is needed. The president need simply allow the states to seek relief in the Supreme Court under US antitrust laws.
Oil crisis is changing business practices and lifestyles High oil prices affect everybody, from the poor man to the captain of industry. In India, the government has not passed on the increase in the price of crude to consumers fully, but double-digit inflation has meant that everybody is bearing the brunt in one way or another. Therefore, everyone should do what they can to ease the burden.
Bhaskar Roy Facing the prospect of the UPA government's sudden collapse as a consequence of inking the India-US nuclear deal, the allies on Monday brought pressure on the Congress leadership to prevent such a fallout and pointed to more urgent issues like prices and oil market volatility.

Is suppressing inflation the answer to an underlying problem, or is it better to bring the problem to the surface as the first step towards addressing its causes and effects?
