      “After careful consideration, it was determined there is no path forward to permit these projects in the US for the foreseeable future,” the company said in a statement.

      From the article it looks like this wasn’t just a carrot being dangled but also a stick being threatened. My guess is that they foresaw the path to completion would be too fraught under the United States government as it is and they don’t see any point in fighting an unwinnable war when they can just get paid anyhow.

      The long and short of it is that Germany and Europe as well as the rest of the world at this point sees no point in investing in America’s future because we have none.
