Russia Plans World's Longest Tunnel, a Link to Alaska
HHhhmmmm…...this has my paranoia antenna sticking strait up in the air, anybody else feel the same way?
<< The project, which Russia is coordinating with the U.S. and Canada, would take 10 to 15 years to complete, Viktor Razbegin, deputy head of industrial research at the Russian Economy Ministry, told reporters in Moscow today. State organizations and private companies in partnership would build and control the route, known as TKM-World Link, he said.>>
<< The Bering Strait tunnel will cost $10 billion to $12 billion, and the rest of the investment will be spent on the entire transport corridor, the plan estimates.>>
<< The planned undersea tunnel would contain a high-speed railway, highway and pipelines, as well as power and fiber-optic cables, according to TKM-World Link. Investors in the so-called public-private partnership include OAO Russian Railways, national utility OAO Unified Energy System and pipeline operator OAO Transneft, according to a press release which was handed out at the media briefing and bore the companies' logos.>>
I guess we could chip in, and go too the local Home Depot parking lot to get a work force ,just tell them you have a little tunnel too dig.
