4,800 megawatts? If that sneaks in under $40B, I’d be surprised. They might get electrons flowing by 2040 if they start the public hearings immediately and expedite the process. More likely, they’re looking at closer to 2050. So many qualified people have left the industry due to age, or lack of prospects, that I’m not even sure if it can be built at this stage.
They should get serious and remove the offshore wind moratorium and get busy erecting generation on the lakes. At least that way they’d have some power coming on stream within 3-5 years.
