At a cost of probably well over $5-10 billion, not including the transmission line upgrades it would require to support it.
Not crazy on the scale of the EU, but high enough that it _absolutely_ ought to be paid for by the people requiring it
"It's just 200 project each of which usually costs tens of millions or more each" is kinda the exact point. "$10 billion" was probably a massive understatement on my part
