Basically, AEP is building a $1 billion 1,200 megawatt power plant in southern Ohio that uses a much cleaner method of burning coal to generate power. One billion fucking dollars...jesus.

You know, 1 billion isn't that much when it comes to business.

Yeah that's true. But are there any other structures that cost that much? I would bet the only thing that costs more would be a nuclear plant.
