Interestingly, there seems to be no actual government involvement aside from the announcement taking place at the White House. It all seems to be private money.

Government enforcing or laxing/fast tracking regulations and permits can kill or propel even a 100B project, and thus can be thought as having its own value on the scale of the given project’s monetary investment, especially in the case of a will/favor/whim-based government instead of a hard rules based deep state one.
