It seems that Russia is planning to build the world's longest tunnel, a transport and pipeline link connecting Siberia and Alaska. It is part of a $65 000 000 000 dollar project to supply the U.S. with oil, natural gas an electricity from Siberia. If the plan is accepted, Russia and the U.S. may each eventually take 25% stakes with private investors and international fincance agencies as other shareholders. The undersea tunnel would contain a high-speed railway, highway and pipelines, as well as power and fiber-optic cables. At 64 miles, the planned tunnel would be twice as long as the underwater section of teh Channel Tunnel between the U.K. and France, and would lik the two islands in the Bering Strait between Russia and the U.S.
