Oil drilling - bad. Oil drilling in the Arctic - horrifying. Nuclear plants - catastrophic. Nuclear plants powering oil drilling in the Arctic - Priceless! Slashdot links to well-advanced Russian plans to place small floating nuclear power plants in the Arctic Ocean to power their offshore oil drilling rigs. Oh those pesky Russians. This should put environmentalists into geostationary orbit for quite some time. I just hope that, unlike Chernobyl, the Russians have now learned something about nuclear containment.
