The Sketch about perspective energy projects
Doggies vigorously ran into the office of editor-in-chief.
The editor was in philosophical mood.
- "What is the our radio station? A bubble on a soap bench. One will burst - we will inflate another..." - the editor reasoned.
The doggies were also in philosophical mood. They looked at the dog bones hanging on the walls of the editor's office. Nothing helps so much concentration as bones...
- Rating down. Duma portrays Minin and Pozharsky. In this whole hectic the picture starts to open.
The so-called pension reform has resulted in budget savings. Savings plus increased taxes are directed to energy projects, including an Arctic ones.
These energy projects are either already unprofitable, or have a tendency inevitable to be the unprofitable. Competitors offer more favorable terms of supply, lower energy prices.
Changes for the better are not expected-sanctions are imposed on these projects.'
The editor looked at radio doggies. They looked at the bones hanging on the walls of the office.
"But the Duma has its own game. The own survival tactics. And we have our own interests. We have sponsors-those who give money..."- editor with an important view raised his index finger.
The meeting did not last long, and soon several radio doggies gathered in front of the microphones in the Studio.
Had to slightly modify the subject of the programme. If earlier it was spoken about the perfidy of the "West" and about "our" the "purity", now doggies explained a "necessity" of "investments" in "projects" with "long - (extended) the horizon".
Now and in the near future, these costs have no economic sense. But once ... in the very distant future...
- We need to think about the 30-ies now! one of the doggies barked into the microphone.
"The 30th will come ... These doggies will be gone. But maybe there will be new doggies ... If the new doggies in the 30-ies will appear, they will bark about the need to 'think' about the 50-ies years... And now they for their chatter from sponsors receive a lot of money, indulge in front of the microphones brooding thoughts and pleasant memories, good eating, gnawing the bones thrown to them and visiting different nice places...",- thought some radio listener. - "It seems, TASS reported that "After the completion of the program of space Shuttle (reusable space Shuttle flights) in 2011, American astronauts are delivered to the ISS by Russian Soyuz spacecraft, but after the successful completion of the Crew Dragon flight [March 8, 2019], the United States has its own manned spacecraft."'
"2019-2011=8. 8 years, after which the project ends with a (basic) success. Evident option of the "horizons of effective investment (planning)". Approximately the Soviet atomic and space projects had same "horizons", also". - the radio listener drew conclusions.
In radio studio doggies continued to tell lies. For doggies a bones are very desirable... And a kind, tender sponsors...
