The cost of a power station is indeed calculated on a per MW basis.

But the delivery time is not related to size. It takes as long to deliver a tonne of steel as it does to deliver three tonnes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are various matters that raise my hackles here.

(a) Why is that that everyone has the answer to every political issue, be it legislative, juridical, ecclesiastical, canonical, engineering, maritime, or historical?  

Why is it that in Malta, everyone is ready with the most mind-numbing stupid replies to the most complex questions?

How can Charmaine Inguanez have any remote clue as to how long it takes to build a power plant?  Can I bet my last farthing that she has no remote clue what LNG stands for?

(b) Which equivalent developed country would hinge the outcome of its general elections on a power plant or utility tariffs?  Is that country stark bloody raving mad?

What about the issues that matter, that really matter, the bread and butter issues, such as - 

(a) education
(b) health and health care funding
(c) pensions and pension reform
(d) the state and health of the job market
(e) the economy in general
(f) the trade balance
(g) the country&#039;s competitiveness
(f) corruption

Am I really the only one who feels so frustrated that I could demolish my Scotch decanter at one go, of an evening, after having read this blog and others?

Where is sanity?  Is it confined to Mount Carmel Hospital?  Are the rest stark, staring mad?  Absolute lunatics?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/01/give-me-strength-3/#comment-713961&quot;&gt;Bubu&lt;/a&gt;.

Tonio made the comparison of cost difference not time to build difference.

It stands to reasons that if a PS needs three turbines to produce 150MW of electricity, it would need four to produce 200MW. 

Are you assuming that the winning bidder would receive the same payment for a 200MW plant as he would for 150MW?

It doesn&#039;t matter who builds the PS. Tonio was comparing likes with likes i.e. Bateman plant for 150MW  vs. Bateman plant for 200MW.

I don&#039;t think you can find fault with anything that Tonio Fenech has put forward. 

He presented facts and expert opinions as compared to a skimpy overview of Joseph&#039;s  (aptly put) Alice in Wonderland project, which he now realizes he cannot do in 23 months so he slithered into the background and pushed to the forefront, future scapegoats. 

I suspect that Anglu will have company soon enough.]]></description>
