And of course it's worth noting that it almost sets a precedent. In 35 years it'll be much easier to upgrade the project then it would be to get a new project off the ground 35 years from now, if one hadn't already been initiated at that location. People will be on board with maintaining infrastructure, far more than they will be on board with creating any new infrastructure. Even if functionally the costs end up being the same.
