But why would you tow it anywhere?
Just chop it up, load it on a barge, and deliver it to your destination.
That has to be a whole lot easier than trying to guide a massive berg !

But...Apartheid died nearly 30 years ago in South Africa - The current government - put in place by Nelson Mandela OWNS their current problems.

In this current climate, one has to choose words VERY carefully. You only have to look at Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Malawi, Tanzania, to see the success of post-colonialism in Africa. I’m confident that South Africa will change it’s name and have equal success.

Have you EVER seen or heard of a socialist government, in all of human history, that admits to an error, or is willing to overturn a law or regulation, once it's made??
Which side even talks of reducing federal control?

Two and a half centuries ago a German “ironmaster” dammed streams and swamps along the NY/NJ border so his forges would have water power to operate the hammers even in times of drought; Greenwood Lake is one of the results. THIS WAS BEFORE OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND.

Not a good reason, but you know the reason is that they don’t want to get (or pay for) technology from Israel.

What’s old is new again.
This idea was discussed about 1978 or so.

They can tow them using Flying Cars and Winged Unicorns.

Pretty short-sighted if you ask me. However, Israel isn't the only one that builds such devices.
Hey...I was just thinking about SA's crazy idea about towing a gigantic iceberg from Antarctica. Wouldn't the next thing be the environmentalists having a screaming hissy fit that they would be stealing the penguins' homes???

LOL!
And how much carbon-based fuel (diesel, probably) would they have to use in order to push / pull the icebergs to SA? Carbon is eeeevil, don’t cha know!

Loved Salvage 1! It was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the thread title.
