Power Generation in the Dominican Republic
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2955565]But quality of the infrastructure is low. They cannot even keep the lights on 024/007/365. That is a sad state of affairs in my book in this day and age in a country that gets over 300 days of sunshine a year and an endless coast line for water and wind power. Electricity should be free in the Dominican Republic. The renewables are there. Add nuclear power plants to provide the 40 base of constant power the grid needs and the problem is solved.[/QUOTE]Once again individuals are challenging my bonafides when it comes to to my knowledge of the Dominican Republic. The knowledge I have about the Dominican Republic far exceeds the knowledge of my critics who are challenging me.
Judge: Is the defense ready? Subcmdr: The defense is ready your honor!
[B]Does the electricity flow in the Dominican Republic now 024/007/365 now[/B]?
During my time in the Colombia I have NEVER experienced a power outage. During my time in Thailand I have only experienced one power outage that was unscheduled during a major storm in my area.
The only reason I do not experience power outages in the Dominican Republic now is that I live completely off grid and I am completely self sufficient when it comes generating electrical power. Last time I stayed in Sosua I experienced several power outages.
Individuals who live there or have visited more recently than I have are welcome to inform me if there has been positive and welcome upgrades to the grid in Northern Coast of the Dominican Republic. Expat friends who live there inform me that electrical generation is still inconsistent and they spend at least 2,000 USD for inverters and batteries (Trojan Red) for standby power.
[QUOTE]If you can draft some of your multinational business associates to put up a few $trillion for nuclear power plants, I would definitely ask you to serve! Imagine FREE electricity in Sosua! LOL.[/QUOTE][U]Nuclear Reactors[/U]
[I]Costs for SMRs vary, but estimates suggest that depending on the size, smaller reactors can cost between $50M for microreactors to $3B for larger units. Microreactor outputs can range between 1-20MW and SMRs can range between 60-300MW.[/I]
1 Trillion USD will buy 333 SMRs. This would far exceed the 40% base load needed for the grid in the Dominican Republic. Place electricity consumption in the Dominican Republic at 20 Billion watts a year. Forty percent of that: 4 Billion watts. So, you would need 15 of the larger SMRs at 3 billion USD each or 45 billion USD. Trillions of dollars needed for my plan. Somebody needs to do the math. I learned how to do the calculations listed above in elementary school. The could put my plan into place for a few billion USD. In order to keep the lights on and increase productive across and entire nation. Yeah, I think that would be priceless.
[QUOTE]And what's this "water power" business?[/QUOTE][U]Wave Power[/U]
[I]Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or pumping water. A machine that exploits wave power is a wave energy converter[/I]
[QUOTE]Just don't litter the island and the beaches with windmills though, might affect tourism.[/QUOTE][U]Wind Power[/U]
Here is a wind map published by the World Bitches (World Bank) showing the potential for wind power in the Caribbean.

They would not have to be placed on the beaches. They need to be placed where the wind blows. [B]What a concept[/B]?
The generation of power using renewable sources is a hobby of mine. Ever since I was young kid and saw how Sats are launched into space and power by solar panels. Actually, the Dominican Republic allowed me live out a dream of living off grid and being self sufficient in that regard.
[I]The Dominican Republic is vigorously advancing its renewable energy sector with an ambitious target to meet 25% of its energy needs with renewables by 2025. This commitment is underscored by substantial investments and initiatives across various forms of renewable energy, including solar, wind, and hydropower.[/I]

[B]The Defense Rests[/B]!
[I]Norway is a different country. Nature has been generous with us. Our ability to exploit natural resources has put us in a unique position with a very high standard of living, a technology industry which ranks as a global leader, and a sovereign wealth fund of more than NOK 10 000 billion. That benefits the whole of Norwegian society[/I]
Could the Dominican Republic do this when it comes to energy? We already know that Tourism is a Renewable Resource when it comes to generating revenue. But does the general population benefit from the gringo largess focused only in the tourist areas?
A few thought from The Cmdr
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2957456]What's the best way to go from the airport in Santo Domingo (SDQ) to Sosua? Is there a bus? A shuttle service? Go to Santiago and then take a taxi?[/QUOTE][B]Best way is defined by you[/B]
You can hire a private car. Or you can take a taxi to Carribe Tours SubStation. Do not go to the main station from SDQ. There is a substation close to the SDQ. Or you can fly directly into POP and take a taxi to your hotel in Sosua. You can also fly into STI and take a taxi from there.
I would have my employee pick me up in the [B]Gran Jefe[/B] mobile then I would take them back to the business location where they work for me and continue on from there to Sosua.
[B]Yes, I understand not everyone can do what I do because they are not me[/B]
If you are budget concious
I have most often flown into SD because it is cheaper. There is a van at the departure drop off that cost 50 pesos to zone colona that locals use. Taxis are at the drop of. Uber service is cheap and consistent. Spending the night in SD is a good to start for your trip. Malls, good food and attractive women every where. I know half a dozen chica in SD who rock my world. I get a nice Airbnb to spend the night. Get a Uber in the morning to Caribe Tours 500 pesos for bus ride. 5 hours later looking at big booty girls in Sosua. If you are on vacation take your time maximize your time and money.
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2957673]You are correct, flights to POP and STI are very expensive.
Maybe a couple of days in Santo Domingo after a long flight would be a good idea.[/QUOTE]
What is YOUR definition of rich?
[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2957597]The flight is extensively cheaper to SD,[/QUOTE]This blanket statement is inaccurate. Depends on your port of embarkation.
[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2957597]then when you're ready for Sosha it's actually a pleasant bus ride.[/QUOTE]Not for me it isn't. Made the trip many of times and I do not like it at all.
[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2957597]No need to fly to puerto plata unless you're rich. The flight there is often 5-10 x times the cost of the flight to Santo Domingo.[/QUOTE][B]Really brother[/B]?
[I]From Google Flights Round Trip: DFW - SDQ: 367 USD; DFW - STI: 409 USD; DFW - POP: 628 USD[/I]; .
Please do your homework next time before posting inaccurate information. Whatever saved in airfare you pay in loss of time on vacation if the individual does not actually WANT to be in Santo Domingo. Spend the extra dollars and make your life easier. I have shown that unless someone is experiencing [I]serious resource scarcity[/I] then most should be able to afford to do it. If you are one of those that are experiencing that kind of resource scarcity then I suggest you stay at home and put in some work. Stack your flow; BEFORE getting on the plane for your [B]International Tricking[/B] activities.
[B]Just saying[/B]!

Do the math and change your perspective
[QUOTE=BennieBen;2973922]Girls are asking US dollar or insanes amount like 6000 DOP. Wtf happenend to this country in the last decade? How did it went from 1500 dop for a fuck to 6 k?[/QUOTE]You do understand that 6000 DOP is less than 100 USD at todays exchange rates? So how much has pussy really increased in cost?
Back when girls were asking 1500, routinely offered 1000 and it was accepted: 42.85 USD when the exchange rates was 1 USD to 35 DOP. Now when I first arrived in the Dominican Republic the exchange rate was 1 USD to 32 USD.
I do not know what Short Time prices are in the Dominican Republic at this time. But 42.85 x 60 equals 2571 DOP. So if you wanted to assume there was not inflation at all for the last 10 - 15 years that is the current price 2571 non inflated. Now inflate the 2571 to todays prices and see if there is a real difference. .
