Russia's Surprisingly Sane Plan to Build a Floating Nuclear Power Plant

Last I heard from offshore wind parks there was an issue with the power transmission to the land. Same probably goes for the Nuclear plants - particularly in the remote areas. Same thing missing there is - infrastracture like power lines.

Would be intersting to see how they adress this.

Sinking the cable strikes me as the best option, first glance.

Had another look. Offshore park in nature reserve had a big problem sinking cables.

But how about the infrastructure on land? Cable again?

Let's take another look at this. What about a non remote area like US or Japan. Both are large concentrated population areas along coastlines. The US has been plagued with the NIMBY complex for years. If a semi submerged cable was able to be placed from the station to the grid, outside the maritime limit of 12 miles, would that thwart the NIMBY folks. 15 miles could be a short run to seaside substation to attach to the grid. Most power is consumed near the coast lines of a country. People would really get bothered but what could they do?

...so, after they've already succeded in contaminated a whole city, what's so wrong with possibly contaminated an ocean next?
