MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- For more than a century, entrepreneurs and engineers have dreamed of building a tunnel connecting the eastern and western hemispheres under the Bering Strait -- only to be brought up short by war, revolution and politics.
Now die-hard supporters are renewing their push for the audacious plan -- a $65 billion highway project that would link two of the world's most inhospitable regions by burrowing under a stretch of water connecting the Pacific with the Arctic Ocean.
Now I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of good reasons why this would actually make sense to do, but to be as honest as I can be, those reasons escape me. I just don't understand why this "pipe dream" still exists. Perhaps because it truly is that... a pipe dream.
