> Belarusian here, actually we don't need this NPP too!

Belarus previously had 99% of its electricity produced by thermal plants. The new NPP will produce 30% of the power in Belarus and seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

For $12'000'000'000 we could build a lot of small-medium size biogas (for agriculture all around the country), wind and hydro plants. Even solar plants can produce a lot of electricity from Marth till October.

Do you know how many sunny days are there in Belarus between March and October?

Also, where do you suggest building a hydro power plant, given that the difference between the highest and the lowest point in the country is about 200 m?
