India Nuke Deal
Base10 still has to digest the details of the US-India nuclear deal. From what Base10 understands, India will get access to peaceful nulear technology from the US (this is important since India expects 25% of its power to be from nuclear reactors in the next few years and this is a big hedge against Arab petrodollars). In exchange, most of its present and all of its future reactors will be subject to international inspections. It seems like a good deal, but it goes against historic US policy toward India which was essentially a nuclear shunning until it joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
