Criton's list mentions 30 different nuclear projects, not the one that you allude to in the above quote.

P.S. - I also realize that your 30 billion is something you pulled out of the air. My point is that governments at all levels borrow cash for just these types of projects.
Do you not see Watts Bar in his list? In order to construct that Nuclear power plant they had to borrow 28 billion dollars, from the original 30 that the government had promised them.
