If you lived in South Africa, would you support nuclear power as a solution to the country's energy woes?

This has happened before.

Then one must consider that if the project is delayed by 1 year, the $10 Billion loan will increase by $500 million. So by delaying the project by 5 years, and now the outstanding debt was over $20 Billion, then it is $1 Billion added each year! So in 2022, they completed the project, with a total cost of $30 Billion. Interest cost at 5% is $1.5 Billion per year, or over $4 million a day!

Many had asked “Is Nuclear the low cost way to save on electric generation?”

Scientists are experimenting with a completely new approach to combat human aging - Earth.com

Nuclear power is something you do not want. Normally the places are over budget, and take much longer to start production than the builders will tell you. The figure once the place has spent $10 Billion, they might as well finish the project, even if the cost is going way way over the original budget. So why not spend $2 billion more, you already spent $10 billion, and if you don’t spent this $2 Billion more, then all of that $10 Billion is not going to get you any electricity. So at $15 Billion, they finally get it running. And only 10 years later than the promise. And nobody goes to jail for breaking the promise of a $8 Billion power plant. Afterall if you lock up the builder, then there is no warranty, and nobody is going to want to work on your new power plant, basically making it worthless.

Or Georgia could spend $5 Billion on a solar farm, and have 5,000 MW of solar panels, and then produce on average 25,000 MWh of solar power each day, and that can save them about $350 Million a year in natural gas or coal fuel savings each year.

So my answer is to look at the new nuclear power station in Georgia, where back in 2007, someone suggested they can build a $9 or $10 Billion nuclear power station, and then located some land, did the design, and by 2009 started construction. It is supposed to make $4 Million a day in electricity, and save everyone a lot of money, and everyone cheered!

Do you think Lady Gaga and Celine Dion have rehearsed separately for their performance at the Olympics opening ceremony?

Offshore wind power is another option for the states near Georgia. Lets hope they can install about 5,000 MW of wind power off the shores of Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and another nearby states.

Meanwhile if Georgia had spent $5 Billion to build a wind turbine system, they can not do it in Georgia, they do not have strong enough winds. So if they built the 5,000 MW wind farm in Iowa or Oklahoma, then spend another Billion to install a 2,000 MW power line, they could have done that for only $6 Billion and completed it within 2 years.

So the nuclear power station can produce about $2.5 Million a day, and they pay $4 million in interest, how many years will it take to pay off that $30 Billion loan?

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
