I agree Flimsyfan - you need innovators and if he produces what he has promised I will, like Bellringer, order a hat to eat and be impressed with what he will have achieved.
The cycnic in me still doubts that though and I worry that his workforce could be left without jobs and investors left without their funds if it is a flop.
Innovators can create jobs and wealth but pipe-dreamers can cause the loss of the same.
Let's hope I am wrong but it is a massively ambitious project he is attempting.
