The key to understanding the delays with Brandenburg Terminal is the board of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg: the states of Brandenberg and Berlin and the Federal government. - berlin-airport.de Board members from the State of Berlin didn't want Tegel Airport, in northern Berlin, to be closed and replaced with an industrial park, as slated by the Federal government. So they've very effectively delayed the completion of Brandenburg Terminal until Berlin's population growth has assured Tegel will remain open. With every construction snafu, which are inevitable, they've insisted on delays while new "studies" be done to assess the project and any future modifications. Over the past 13 years of planning and construction there's probably been a total of only 18 months of actual construction work on the Brandenburg Terminal itself which has received only a small fraction of the total project cost. Most of the Brandenburg project money has been spent building high-speed subway and freeway extensions to the existing Schönefeld Airport (future Brandenburg Airport), the new much larger southern runway and offsites and support buildings used by the now much larger Schönefeld Airport. As expected Berlin has become more populated more quickly than the Federal government imagined. And because almost all of Berlin was previously the under-populated DDR, Berlin can easily continue to expand probably becoming the largest city in the world. The new southern runway expansion is in use by Schönefeld Airport in an awkward fashion by loading and unloading the passengers by bus to Schönefeld Terminal north of the northern airfield. Asked about the Brandenburg Terminal, Lufthansa board member Thorsten Dirks said "*The thing* *will be torn down and built anew* ”. Because that's what the State of Berlin and Lufthansa always needed and wanted. They just had to out wait the Federal government. Thorsten Dirks promoting Lufthansa's Eurowings subsidiary

What defined a location for a solar project Not sure about the Solar Ranch, TN location but it could have been a sweet spot. As you know the utilities that partnered with the project can all carry that feather in the cap. As Gemlaoshi put it, 53MW is nothing in a grid the size of TVA.but the photo opportunity of breaking ground and going live have a lot of "MW"...

You friend seems not to know anything about the Soy bean crops. He mentioned Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia? Well, Soy beans is a plant from the temperate zones. Brazil managed to adapt it to the subtropical zones Now he wants you to believe that 3 tiny S. E. Asia countries can supply China with soya beans? Why? Just because they are China's client states? If not from the US and Brazil the Chinese would be vegetarians and meat would have been a delicacy of the elites..
