Russia Baikal Plant

Russia Baikal Plant
In this undated file photo issued by the environmental group Greenpeace, the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill is seen on Lake Baikal, some 2,600 miles east of Moscow, in eastern Siberia, Russia. Russian business executives said Thursday Jan. 28, 2010 they are determined to reopen a paper mill near the world's oldest and largest freshwater lake, despite warnings that the plant threatens Lake Baikal's unique and fragile ecosystem. Factory management told reporters here Thursday that the pulp plant provides 1,500 desperately needed jobs in eastern Siberia, and claimed that operations there pose "no risk of any technology-related accidents."
