907- MORE BANDAGES

FIXING THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS
There is no future in this....
Contractors Hired to Fix Power Plant
Companies from
the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Australia have been hired and are now proceeding to make significant improvements to Saipan's primary power plant.
The utility agency used federal funds to jump start nearly all plant repairs and contracts after the U.S. Department of the Interior approved a total reprogramming of $6.5 million from capital improvement projects.
Do you think this will solve the problems CUC is having? Maybe on a temporary basis but there needs to be some serious planning for the long term fixes and that needs to be started now! Here's what will happen with this latest bandage. The power will be fixed on a very short term basis and all will get complacent until things run amok again then it will be de javu again. There needs to be some foresight into this problem, maybe they should listen to Dr. Thomas Arkle and his plan for nuclear power, although I won't get into the details of that now. At the very least there should be some planning in the works for the future and before this problem reoccurs they should have some long term solutions available....

Windpower is out due to the typhoons. Solar is not currently feasible, nor would it produce an ample supply of power. Ocean related sources might be one avenue. Nuclear energy may also be another avenue.
