Moscow, Russia (RIA) Jul 10, 2006
NASA will provide the Russian segment of the International Space Station with energy generated by American solar generators, Roscosmos said Thursday. Russia cannot deliver its own energy module to the orbital station due to a significant reduction in the number of U.S. space shuttle flights.
It doesn't say Russia is too busy drilling for oil and forming a natural gas OPEC to develop its own solar generators on schedule.
