Its announced contract with an eastern Idaho producer of elemental phosphorus would convey an annual subsidy of $2,000,000 at taxpayer expense. Under the terms of the contract, Bonneville would receive about $2,000,000 per year from the Monsanto Company, but would pay out over $4,000,000 in interest and generating cost alone, not to mention maintenance, administration and other expense.
