Alternate Energy Holdings (fka AEHI)

[RobC]

I love articles like this. Especially written by people who have never been on the ground in this area.


"Moreover, experts say, AEHI still faces massive costs associated with delivering that power as well. John Weber, a longtime skeptic of AEHI, recently examined Idaho’s transmission capacity when participating in a utility-sponsored meeting on the state’s “Integrated Resource Plan.” Even if AEHI could somehow secure the funding and approvals necessary to build a nuclear power plant, Weber determined, the company would still need to build a high-priced transmission line before it could actually sell that electricity.

“I would assume, to get the best price for the power, it would have to go to southern California,” Weber says. “So figure 1,000-plus miles at $3 million per mile. That is $3 billion and at least 10 years (in the future) – if ever."
