Corrupt and autocratic regimes in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuella and other places are in power mostly because of the constant flow of oil dollars. ==
You equal Russia with Nigeria? Serge do you ever travel to Nigeria? If not then you don't know what you talking about:))))>.
For your information Sergey Russia does R&D on fule cell elements. Norilsk nickel corporation finnace it since they produces nickel needed for hydrogen fuel cells.
SO during 5 years Russia will start production of those fuel cells.
Second thing, russian scientists participate in new europian project of thermonuclier reactor. Accually whole design is former soviet-russian Tokamak. DO you know what is it?
If not firstly go educate yourself then start to equal Russia and Nigeria:)).
Lukasz if you NASA scientist as you told then maybe you understand what I talk about? May be you tell sense into Sergey?
I'm not comparing Russia and Nigeria. I simply say that regimes in these countries are propped up by oil dollar flows and it provides little incentives to diversify economies. If you could stop defending Putin at every corner, our discussion could go far better.
