House bill would pay back airports close to resorts frequented by Trump

The House is likely to include language in its appropriations bill for transportation spending that would require at least $3.5 million in federal funds be used to reimburse airports in Florida and New Jersey that lose money when President Trump stays at his nearby resorts, Politico reported.

The language in the appropriations bill would affect at least three airports near Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., and Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., according to Politico.

When Trump stays at one of his resorts, those airports practically close because they fall within the “no-fly zone,” Jim Coon, the senior vice president of government affairs and advocacy for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), told the publication.

The three airports affected by Trump’s travels are Somerset Airport in Bedminster Township, N.J., Solberg Airport in nearby Readington Township, N.J., and Lantana Airport in Palm Beach County, Fla.

The airports and their businesses told the AOPA that they lost more than $1 million a year because of Trump’s visits. They claimed Trump has stayed at either of his two resorts about 80 days in the last year.

Russia's 1st sea-borne nuclear power plant arrives in the Arctic

Nuclear company says it could pioneer power source for remote areas, Greenpeace calls it 'nuclear Titanic'

Russia's first floating nuclear power plant arrived in the Arctic port of Murmansk over the weekend in preparation for its maiden mission: providing electricity to an isolated Russian town across the Bering Strait from Alaska.

The state company behind the plant, called the Akademik Lomonosov, says it could pioneer a new power source for remote regions of the planet, but green campaigners have expressed concern about the risk of nuclear accidents. Greenpeace has called it the "nuclear Titanic".

Russian state nuclear company Rosatom, which developed the floating power plant, said that it docked the unit in Murmansk on Saturday where it was towed from St. Petersburg, the city where it was built.

Nuclear reactors bobbing around the Arctic Ocean will pose a shockingly obvious threat to a fragile environment.
- Jan Haverkamp, nuclear expert

In Murmansk it will take on board a supply of nuclear fuel. It will then be towed to the town of Pevek in the Far East region of Chukotka, separated from the U.S. state of Alaska by the Bering Strait. It will start operations there next year.
