The capital cost is $818 million (now $868 million, I guess), and if you add annual financing costs of $11 million over 30 years, you get a number over $1 billion. Why he didn't go all the way and say it was costing $1.9 billion, I don't know.

My wording probably wasn't the best when I said that was the cost for construction and financing, because the capital cost is more than just construction.

How can you get to $1.9B?
