I'd like to share the exchange I had with my friends after I posted this news on Facebook.
Josette (Me): Why don't I hear the Global Warming people having a cow about this or China's plans?!
David: Or float them over here, and blow them up!
Josette: @David, That's so very true! I didn't think about that.
Tony: Well I am not surprised. Since the West does not have any real power or influence they can not bully Russia or China. Let some country in Africa or South America try this or something like it.... Then it will rain cows.
Josette: @Tony, But my question is why do the climate change/global warming people bully the United States and turned a blind eye to these two nations and Brazil who is doing really deep offshore oil drilling. Further and deeper than ours. These marxist socialist/communist really want to dismantle our country and force us to become dependent on these foreign nations who already practice what they believe in.
Tony: Here is why Josette: We give them a audience. We give them press, we give them a stage. Russia and China could care LESS about enviromental concerns, they are trying to grow their nation. We try to appease too many people so we get nothing done.
Josette: @Tony, I agree! But don't you think the environmentalists or global warming people would at least make a statement about this? I mean I know Russia and China will go through with their plans no matter what. It's just so obvious the global warming agenda is a sham and they just want to impose their UN agenda 21 on the United States. It's all a matter of controlling the population and not about environmental concerns.
Tony: @Josette Yes, you are correct! Well when you have the Koyoto treaty that excludes China and India who are the two biggest polluters out there, what does that tell you?
They want to weaken the USA and the west, they tried it before but this GW thing is catching on and we are too asleep to do anything about it...
Josette: @Tony, You hit the nail on the head!!!

Russia is putting the finishing touches on the first of 8 new massive floating nuclear power plants. It plans to use the behemoth energy generators in the Arctic ocean to power the search for new oil and natural gas deposits. The reactors are built on giant platforms that resemble huge cargo ships, each one carrying a staggering $336 million price tag.
With its new power plants, Russia hopes to secure as much of the unclaimed Arctic resources as possible, further cementing its position as a major player in world energy resources.
The country is also interested in selling or leasing the power plants to other nations, and has already received interest from China, Indonesia, and Algeria. Currently, only one of the planned fleet exists, so any deals would still be many months or years from being struck.
Japan's recent earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent reactor meltdown has given us a small taste of the ever-present dangers surrounding nuclear power. Some countries, like Germany, took the deadly event as a cue to lessen their dependence on the clean but volatile energy source, even going so far as to eliminate their entire nuclear power plant network over the next decade.
Despite the many apparent dangers that a floating nuclear plant could face (there are literally too many to list), the Russian energy community seems rather confident with its plan. "There's no need to worry about our technology. We have 50 years experience operating nuclear-powered icebreakers in extreme conditions," says a spokesman.
But the concerns with the new plants aren't focused on whether the Russian nuclear operators know what they're doing, it's the unpredictable nature of the Arctic ocean, and the thought of the huge ships falling into the wrong hands, that has people up in arms. Imagine turning on the news to learn that a rogue military group has hijacked a nuclear device the size of a small town? Now that's scary.
