The World's Longest Tunnel

fusconed writes "Bloomberg reports that the Russian government is proposing to build an underground tunnel between Russia and Alaska for transporting goods, electricity and natural resources. The tunnel would be twice as long as that between the UK and France. The $10 — $12b cost is not something to be overlooked, but Russia claims the benefits would pay it off in 20 years. It would take 10 to 15 years to build, but being an Alaskan, it sounds good to me!"

Nah, I'm no hippie. Fuck the environment; I just want livable streets, a shorter commute, and to breathe clean air instead of carcinogenic particulate matter So in other words, you do care about the environment, you're just too gutless to stand up and admit it for fear of being labelled a "hippie". Either that or you just missed the irony altogether.
