The Boeing factory is 100 acres and the largest building in the world by floor area. And they want to build something with a clear roof that's 500 acres?

It isn't all under one roof. At least from what I read. Parts are under a roof.
As for 500 acres. That's not really that much. It looks huge when you overlap on DT. Go overlap it in a farmers field. It will be a little chunk of that field.
In fact on my many trips in the USA there are huge greenhouse farms that cover just as much.
I'm not saying this will get built with money for, any Canadian. Although if Thompson even built it. He would still have 23 billion left in his account after spending 2 billion.
You look at these Middle East kings and they throw money away like crazy on stupid things that never turn a profit as its all about status.
