400 million is 400 million, regardless of total energy budget. There are a lot of things you could do with that money.

Scale does not condone inefficiency outside of the lab.
Well, I guess they will have to answer to their investors. The same ones who voted for the project.
This is where I am confused as well. I think either:

1) The "green" portion of the investment is complete bullshit in itself, but it can still turn a profit without it. The advantage is solely in marketing. he says as if that is a small one

2) They are lobbying for or anticipating government intervention to turn the profit there.

I could not find anything about their business model on their site. I don't know if that is standard practice or not.

The technology isn't there. That's all there is to it.
I'm sure they've done their research. A 400 million dollar project based on "hopefully we will get government help later on" seems a bit ridiculous tbh. Maybe... just maybe, they know something we don't? Either way I'll join in the whining when they start demanding that the government fund their project (srsly). That is of course excluding the same credits that everyone gets for "going green".
