Startup Seeks Eight Billion Dollar Loan

One of the Company's Chief Puff writers, Dan Hamilton, penned a puff piece which, to the uninformed, makes it look like the company can just run out and get an eight billion dollar loan to build a plant.
From Puff, the Magic Newscaster:
"The real answer is much more complicated.  Depending on the reactor, the finished project, likely on a 5,000 acre piece of property outside Payette, will cost between $5 billion and $8 billion.  This is an investor-driven operation, at least in the beginning, and paying for it will require a couple different methods, or phases. These are the reasons investors continue supporting AEHI, because they’ve learned there is no downside to nvesting in a nuclear power plant. Phase one will require about $100 million to pay for land, water, engineers, lawyers and applications. Last summer AEHI announced an agreement with an investment group to fund $70 million worth of the project and now we have several large international investors also interested.
Phase two takes place after AEHI receives local and federal approval; once approved, the property will increase in value to about $1.5 billion. The land then becomes an asset used to borrow $5 billion to $8 billion for construction. No loan payments are expected until the plant is operational, and once running at full capacity, it will create about $3 billion annually in reliable profits for 60 years.  These projections create a very attractive loan for most lenders. Making this even more attractive, and much less risky, is a federal loan guarantee, which insures loan repayment up to 80 percent its original value. You can read more about this program on the Nuclear Energy Institute’s website: http://tinyurl.com/financingnuclearpower. This is also a program many senators are trying to expand."

 Well, Dan Burgundy, the real answer is much more complicated than your childlike puff piece makes it out to be. In fact, a real nuclear power construction company has a handy presentation on how financing of nuclear plants really works.  Puff Burgundy's plan as outlined above doesn't even come close to addressing the hurdles listed there. But let's play in Dan and Don's imaginary world for a minute and assume there is a multibillion dollar payday loan company somewhere in the world ready to shell out $8-10 B for this "project".
What makes a loan attractive to most lenders?  The ability of the borrower to repay the loan. Ability to repay comes from producing revenue in excess of expenses.  Likelihood of a company to succeed is based on its ability to accomplish its goals.  What will these lenders be looking at to decide whether to loan the company money? Its track record.  So, for your perusal, here is a comprehensive list of the many accomplishments failures of Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., since its spinoff from the Stabilized Rice Bran Multilevel Marketing Company, Nussentials Holdings, Inc, in 2006. These are all either things the company stated it would do in its press releases, or are regulatory requirements, or are things any good business would do if its CEO with 45 years of experience contemplated earning profits for shareholders, which is the purpose of a corporation, and makes it possible for the company to make payments on its loans.

Would you invest your money in a company with this track record? Would you loan your money to a company with this track record?  Would you let a former newscaster tell your prospective investors how financing works?

Maybe they should try Craigslist.
Or maybe they did.
