Well, I see some counter-evidence to that notion in progress.  The current POTUS (whose name I cannot recall) wants congress to pass the bill to reopen the government.  This they refuse to do.  If the current POTUS can do anything he wants, why doesn’t he just reopen the government without congress?

Sure.  But all that should have been in the risk model when Revolution Power started building.  The transmission cables go in first, then the inverters and infrastructure, THEN start poking the turbines into the seabed.  That’s how I would have designed that project.  The MW start rolling in from the day the first turbine starts spinning.  With wind power that is an important feature, for wind power is intermittent.  The first few percent are easy to absorb and process into the grid.  After that it gets harder and harder, the cost goes up.

 

But if the project is designed correctly, it is still returning SOMETHING on the investment from the day the first operable turbine swats an erne.
