Were people actually expecting the construction to start immediately or something? There's absolutely wrenches being thrown at the process, and all of the planning and construction time on top of it all.

The plan all along was to complete everything by 2027, with construction starting in '24 and '25. Every state I've cared to look at has a published plan and timeline. 🤷‍♂️

It's going to be 90% planning and permitting. 10% construction. There's very little construction needed. (It may even be 99:1).
