Wind spins the turbines. Turbines split seawater. Tanks fill. Ships queue up, dock, drink their fill, and pay you $1,050 a tonne. This sim plays the calculator's best case ("Everything Goes Right": power at $35/MWh, machines 60% cheaper than today, a buyer on contract). On today's real Gulf costs the bank takes the rig in year one, which is why owning a platform is watch-only in our plan. An oxygen barge shuttles your byproduct to a fish farm for a second income.
Let the tanks overflow and you'll vent fuel. Let them run dry and ships wait. Keep the queue moving.
You start with $8M and a $150M loan (60% of the $250M build; partners put in the rest). Debt service, upkeep, machine wear and overhauls all hit the 📊 PRO-FORMA. Survive 10 years to pay it off; hit −$8M and the bank takes the rig.
