Were you in exile like a real pirate?

Did you have a parrot on your shoulder? Is that how you learned to parrot what you hear?

NO SAM GRABBED THE PARROT
I did not want one on the boat
stink and cage size
so he took it when a stray parrot landed on the boat yard fence
never did see any one claim that one
lots of others had them

inc the kibbutz kids on the old wood sail boat that drown the cougar
had a huge blue and gold that squacked pre dawn every day
we did have lots of very crazy/interesting/stray people
but few were sad to see the pre-dawn squacks sail on
way louder then a rooster

"Pattern Energy Breaks Ground on $11 Billion Clean Energy Project"

quote
Pattern Energy has sealed an $11 billion non-recourse financing deal and launched the construction of SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind.

This initiative marks the largest clean energy infrastructure project in U.S. history.

The SunZia Transmission, spanning 550 miles with a ± 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line, links central New Mexico to south-central Arizona. It boasts the capability to carry 3,000 MW of clean, dependable, and cost-effective electricity across Western states.

This transmission line will transport clean power generated by Pattern Energy’s 3,515 MW SunZia Wind facility, set to become the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere. The wind farm is underway across Torrance, Lincoln, and San Miguel Counties in New Mexico.

The groundbreaking financing structure encompasses an array of financial instruments, including an integrated construction loan, letter of credit facility, term facilities, tax equity term loan facility, and a holding company loan facility. . . .
