A floating nuclear power plant called the Akademik Lomonosov

[MisterVeritis]

Next month, a floating nuclear power plant called the Akademik Lomonosov will be towed via the Northern Sea Route to its final destination in the Far East, after almost two decades in construction.

It's part of Russia's ambition to bring electric power to a mineral-rich region. The 144-meter (472 feet) long platform painted in the colors of the Russian flag is going to float next to a small Arctic port town of Pevek, some 4,000 miles away from Moscow. It will supply electricity to settlements and companies extracting hydrocarbons and precious stones in the Chukotka region.

I meant for the US. It seems to work for Russia.

Nuclear power is the answer to our future energy needs.

As soon as we build one.....the rest of the planet along with the leftness will connipt.

No, because nuclear power is insanely expensive. Renewable energy sources are far cheaper.

Remember conservatives, there's still no free lunch, no matter how hard you wish for one. We liberals, being realists, understand that money matters.

If you disagree, you should go invest in nuclear power. Or perhaps beg for massive government subsidies for nuclear power, which is the only way it survives in other countries.

You couldn't be more wrong.
