Large Solar Projects and Lawyers
Wow. I thought I was willing to take a stance that I know is bound to irritate certain people. A guy here at the Renewable Energy Finance Forum just put me to shame; he told a room filled with dozens of lawyers — at a conference sponsored by their firms, some of the largest on Earth:
The real problem with the solar market is that lawyers go out of their way to write documents that are deliberately ambiguous, just so they’ll have the opportunity to argue about it. We don’t have business negotiations any more; we bicker over legal language that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
I’m sure there’s more than a little merit to what he said, but you could have heard a pin drop.
