Projects in the Dakotas and NW Iowa will in the end be massive ... if locally owned, they would end up being a major export base industry for those areas (which suggests that it is in the interest of those states to pursue the public financing track for local owners, even if the local owners are consortia of counties and municipalities) ... projects in a place like Ohio are likely to be smaller, except of course when it is time to go offshore onto Lake Erie.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
