"Pretending to be a lawyer" was Step 1. If that doesn't do the trick (and you don't want to wait indefinitely) - it generally pays to get a lawyer.

Do I have any legal avenues to recoup these missed payments? Absolutely. You can write the first 1-2 "demand letters" yourself (look up the term for easily findable guidance on how to do this). In particular you can remind the

Stupid, no. The nuclear equation was viewed very differently in those times. Recall that back then, Chernobyl was still a very fresh memory. Meanwhile, the other half of the decision (to move to renewables) was quite prescient for its time

People love to 'hate on' Perl, but how many of them have actually used it? No one who remembers the 90s-00s (and how incredibly helpful Perl was, until those other languages at its lunch) has any "hate", as such for Pe
