NEXT PRIOTRITY WILL BE NUCLEAR POWER IN NUMINEUX
 
Governor General’s Palace, September 20, 5595: With the Trans Seleyan Railroad connection between the Commonwealth of Mordusia and Republique Socialiste d”Alduria nearing completion, the Council of Ministers met at the Governor General’s Palace to consider what to make the next budgetary priority since the funds available would realistically only go so far.
 
The Defense Ministry indicated between existing appropriations and interest on Bank of Canrille funds held for the Union of Canrille, maintenance of the three fleets of Imperial Command, could be handled without additional funds in the appropriation. 
 
The assumption had been that the next priority would be expanding charging stations for electrical vehicles on the Mainland.  Premier Michel Malfois suggested however that to him it made sense to invest in nuclear power generation in Numineux rather than on the Island as earlier anticipated so that the truly long term power plan could be in place before expanding charging stations.
 
Silliers Province electricity is almost entirely nuclear generated supplemented by some wind and solar energy; La Tondelle, Val d’Azur and Martois have hydroelectricity; and Numineux currently imports natural gas to generate almost all its electricity except for a small amount of wind and solar power generation.
 
Once nuclear power generated electricity was up and running in Numineux Province, natural gas would cease to be imported for generation of electricity. 
 
This plan suggested by the Premier was adopted.
