The missing flavor: Texas mineral rights are very bizarre (they dominate surface land rights, and there's no state registry of them), the detailed power grid analysis completely contradicted the preliminary analysis, and the costs of upgrading less than 2 miles of wiring to carry 3 MW is nearly $800k.

I'm used to think that California is an overpriced legal quagmire if you want to build something. I didn't expect Texas to fare not much better.
