Russia is trying to justify this with global warming alarmism, saying it's the only low-carbon form of energy available at the poles. Global warming is the biggest form of idiocy on the planet. If there is too much carbon in the air, just plant more trees. The article says that other countries are planning floating nuclear power plants as well. I can see were the manufacturers would be at an advantage since if the chain reaction goes out of control, everything will be dumped in the ocean and they won't have to deal with the consequences.
