Russia may have announced its intention to become carbon neutral within four decades, but that claim does not appear to stop it from embarking on what has been dubbed the largest project in the modern-day global oil industry.
As one of the world’s main oil producers and the fourth-biggest greenhouse-gas emitter behind China, the United States, and the European Union, Russia is now constructing a $110 billion megaport on the Taymyr peninsula. This project, which will contain the country's largest Arctic oil terminal, is so large and isolated that they'll have to first create the infrastructure required just to travel to the site.
According to a video by the YouTube channel The B1M, over 19,840 tons of heavy machinery, living quarters, and communications equipment have already been shipped to the site, and once fully operational, the project will deliver 27.5 million tons of oil by 2025. If you're curious to know more, make sure you watch the video above.

The number of satellites in orbit is increasing and soon we will have difficulties observing the sky. Cleaning up the space debris would be like 'collecting bullets'.
