RE:we should aim at energy independence and indigenous technology
by Amrit Singh on Aug 20, 2007 11:59 PM

its strictly the business with the US also. Freebies were the charaterstics of USSR. But not Russia. Freebies were given by USA also to its allies. It was a cold war game by superpowers. The american economy may fall one day owing to its massive defense spending 500 billion dollars. the price of the same technology in russia is four to five times lower that the US. Even america is also buying nuclear fuel from Russia's dismantled old nuclear warheads. I have read somewhere that it lights 10% america. You know y because that high grade warhead fuel is much cheaper than their own fuel. so even if its strictly business India will benefit. The deal will cost us 150 billion dollars. It will cost much lesser with Russia plus the gains of foreign policy independence.
