Groundbreaking is set for Feb. 9.

Oh, I see, it’s one of those save-the-world, en-gee-oh things all the kids want to work for before they end up working for Goldman. I assume you started this organization? (Incredulous, you shake your head.) (Angrily) Look, you’re not giving me much to work with here. This is your future...
