A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant?
Roland Piquepaille writes "In 'A Floating Chernobyl?,' Popular Science reports that two Russian companies plan to build the world's first floating nuclear power plant to deliver cheap electricity to northern territories. The construction should start next year for a deployment in 2010. The huge barge will be home for two 60-megawatt nuclear reactors which will work until 2050... if everything works fine. It looks like a frightening idea, don't you think? But read more for additional details and pictures of this floating nuclear power plant."
I'll take the bate. Exactly where do US troops in Afghanstan "restoring infrastruture?" And to start with, what business did US troops had coming into the country at all? Oh, the former ally and a bunch of former trainees in tertrorist/partisan warfare have turned their guns against US? Well, does it not go back to the same year when USSR did go to Afghanistan to protect the elected government? Sure, that government was a Commie one -- but don't people have freedom of thought and belief? Oh, that's only "American people" is it not? And only as long as it matches with the current "doctrine," eh? And does not contradict the religious right's view of life, universe and everything...
See -- you can turn this type of thing each and every way.
