It is SO expensive that most citizens cannot afford more than than lighting, a small TV and a fridge.
But heh, “No Money Pepe” continues to allow UTE to do WTF they like: I wonder why?

Come on people, say it, you are envious of Uruguay and Pepe! I am envious too, but I confess it. This type of ventures reveals the true stature of this country's people and government. Argentina needs to cultivate these sources of energy. In Patagonia we have more wind than you could ever wish for. The day we begin installing those turbines we'll hear the howls from heralds of gloom and doom such as you guys.

Don't waste your time in TDC or Uruguay, they know nothing.
You probably ignore Argentina has just become one of eight countries in the world to build its own communications satellite.
Oct 21st, 2014 - 12:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0USA and UK universities? Yes why not...some better than others...but will take any time an upgrade in Latin America. Perhaps less material resources, but excellent academics.
But then again, why bother with facts that may threaten your comfortable view of the world?

No I didn't, because you have yet to find out if it works!
TMBOA has been VERY quiet so far after the euphoria of the launch which took place in another country on somebody else's rocket.
How about a little bet that there is NO announcement from Casa Rosada?
Whatever, Chris!

Here you have another one for free: “Anyhow-why those Argies in the provinces need to watch Cristina on TV after all?”

I suspect that if you asked them, they would agree.
Listening to TMBOA rave on for two hours would be enough for most INTELLIGENT argies to shoot themselves, I would imagine.
