Letters / Indefinite future?

Geordie, I think you are saying, should it be confirmed, the SCT wind farm project will pay for the cable to which you refer?

It sounds like you are also saying that the wind farm and the cable will last “indefinitely”?

If not, given that I have provided evidence fossil fuel energy will be abundant and will likely be even cheaper relative to “renewable” energy than it is now, who will pay for the cable’s periodic replacement so that it will continue to exist in the “indefinite future”?
