They were unhappy because we awarded more contracts to Chinese firms. And not to more costly American ones. I hope the present contracts, are competed and then either we start large scale manufacturing ourselves or invest more in coal.

Ohh sorry, I didn't knew I was replying to a wall.

Expensive and very high risk bro, Solar, Tidal & Wind Power plant is the future, many developed countries are shutting down reactors and we should not get carried way by this Nuclear Energy hype.
