As far DR Government loans - most are with the World Bank or European governments- Do they have any with the American government?

The only way I see they could do it, as things stand right now, is like Franco had Spain's highway system implemented in the 70's... by having foreign companies do it on their own bill (with credits and grants from abroad too) and then having the right of operation for 30, 30 or 40 years under set guidelines (prices).
In my opinion, besides the few hydro electric installations and windmills here and there, EVERYTHING else needs to be REPLACED completely.
Even though oil has recently surprised us by getting "cheaper" (only LESS EXPENSIVE, really) it will soon be too expensive and valuable to just burn it. That besides the aspects of contamination.
But as things are going... it all seems only wishful thinking.
the country's energy problem is not something that just has been an issue "now", it seems it ALWAYS has been. You watch those movies and reports from past political elections and turmoils... almost always, was "
apagones" and their elimination one of the main issues... kind'a like "social security" in the States...
