We keep lamenting that we keep loosing ice. But doesn't those ships who brake ice make the melting process a lot easier?

#1 You say "But i don't like the thought of a nuclear driven vehicle roaming around in the last areas of untouched wilderness..."
"Untouched"? Maybe you were not listening @ 3:55 when he said the Russians had been using the Arctic as their personal nuclear waste dumping grounds for many years and the entire area is contaminated. Nuclear subs and ships were sunk with reactors intact where they now sit leaking into the sea. Many tons of radioactive waste was dumped in the Barents and Kara seas.

you are totally right, i wasn't listening to it at all, i was listening to music. But ok, you reacted to the part where i used the word "untouched". Bear in mind that not all users have english as the native languge. Hence words can mean different things when translated. In this case, i should have used the words "visually untouched", that would be more accurate and maybe it would make more sense.
That said, even tho you would be right, (which you are about the facts) would that change my feelings about having nuclear vehicles roaming around?
