Every time I read about scientific settlement on Antarctica I long for a mad scientist billionaire to head down there with an appliance style Mitsubishi nuclear reactor, ocean containers of MREs and cold weather construction equipment and materials, a pile of weapons for self defense of their claim, a large team of highly motivated scientist settlers and their families and a new flag to plant to claim Antarctican Independence and restore the great frontier right here on earth.
Looks like an ATM is covered, which is just one less thing to bring.
- rdtsc 17y agoIf he did have a nuclear reactor. He will quickly be "de-throned" and invaded as he will be deemed a "security threat" by other "nuclear" powers (yes, despite the obvious irony). Look what is happening with Iran and North Korea. All the nuclear powers are up in arms (pun intended) about them developing nuclear technology.
- rjurney 17y agoThe model reactor I have in mind is targeted at Inuit tribes near the north pole, and nobody deems them a menace. Do you really think anyone would mind nuclear reactors in Iran if they imported their fuel and said nice things about Israel? Would North Korea be a problem as a nuclear power if it weren't a nation gone completely insane? Anyway, wind/solar/whatever could also work. But the nuclear appliance is really appealing.
