26. One thing I noticed in the picture.

There aren't any solar panels or wind turbines. All this new technology hooked up to an ancient grid that is also tasked with providing power to other businesses and families. If they're going to do this, they should be required to provide their own electricity or at least, some of it. They don't have to use the giant wind turbines like we see offshore but, multiple vertical turbines that can be small enough to install at any home. As for solar panels that should be a no-brainer. Cover every roof and all available areas surrounding the facility. On top of all that they also use a shit-ton of water so they have to be built practically right next to a river.

Something just tells me that they may be jumping the gun a bit. Counting more money before they actually have it. It seems they're already partying with the good and totally forgetting that the bad is just outside the door waiting to barge in.
