Problem is - solar and wind are not reliable and not suitable for any real manufacturing or life during winter.

In the water area of ​​the Northern Sea Route (NSR), 24 ships were blocked in the ice. All of them are idle in a forced drift, awaiting the approach of nuclear icebreakers, which are supposed to take them out of the ice captivity.

In accordance with the latest forecast posted on the website of the administration of the Northern Sea Route with reference to data from Roshydromet, the type of ice conditions along the entire length of the NSR is declared as “light”. Vedomosti sent a request to Roshydromet. Vedomosti also sent inquiries to shipping companies, the Ministry of Transport and the administration of the Northern Sea Route.

In reality, the ice situation today does not correspond to forecasts, said a source close to Rosatom (the operator of the NSR), Vedomosti. According to him, the ships "get into the ice" and cannot go on their own. The interlocutor of Vedomosti explains that in past years at this time the ice situation was simple, so this November a number of shipowners did not order icebreaker assistance. “But the weather changed dramatically, Roshydromet's forecast turned out to be inaccurate,” he says.

The selfless work of the captains of nuclear icebreakers, the well-coordinated actions of the captains of cargo ships will allow to remove all problems by the end of December 2021.

But now the situation with the northern delivery has become more complicated, that is, the delivery of food and other essential goods to the regions of the Far North and the Far Eastern Federal District.

And those who fall behind get beaten.... All beat Russia because of her backwardness. They beat her because to do so was profitable and could be done with impunity. Such is the law of the exploiters-to beat the backward and the weak. It is the jungle law of capitalism. You are backward, you are weak-therefore you are wrong; hence, you can be beaten and enslaved. You are mighty-therefore you are right; hence, we must be wary of you.

That is why we must no longer lag behind. We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or we shall be crushed.
