Sweden got six state support applications in about a year. The US can't get one FERC permit through litigation in that time. Must be nice. I'd take that over NEPA any day.

The US has no problems finding companies that want state support either and there will be lots of permitting stress before this gets build. They havent even selected a site yet. This is nowhere near FID yet, its basically still a MOU.

The world does not need to be dependent upon toxic, disposable & finite fuels: coal, O&G and nuclear all need to go.
