Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens

slashdotmsiriv writes with a link to an International Business Times article about Russia's plan to build floating nuclear power plants (a subject we discussed some time ago). The project is getting a lot of flack over possible safety problems from green groups. "The first floating power plant will be named 'Academician Lomonosov.' Mikhail Lomonosov was an 18th- century Russian scientist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his work in chemistry and physics and was founder of Moscow's state university. Customers could include Russian state-controlled gas giant Gazprom, the northern region of Chukotka and countries from Namibia to Indonesia, according to industry sources."

  1. To all Greens reading this.... by gatkinso · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ... since you obviously use electricity, and plastic, and have a job that pays enough to own a computer - which implies that you commute to work be it on a train or a bus or in a car... oh forget it the list is endless.

    My point, which I digressed from - is that you are as much a problem for the environment as everyone else - so just shut your trap already.
