You may be missing my point. THEY aren't being kept in the dark. YOU are. Anyone involved in the project signs an NDA. Then the relevant experts can't talk about it.
This is big with legislators too. They are taken on tours under NDA. They see there is no water use, they listen to the noise levels, they see the new substation provided to the community. But they cannot tell the constituents those specifics. Only "it's not like the news is claiming".
And the news is not the customer. No one in the industry cares about bad press. Customers won't stop buying. So the build out accelerates.
