What believers are saying

  • NiSource's 2,600-megawatt combined-cycle award anchors revenue through 2032 after regulatory approvals.
  • July 2024 Golden Pass settlement let Zachry exit the worst-loss project.
  • Rehiring at Golden Pass and services leadership under Rob Berra support recovery.

What critics are saying

  • May 2024 bankruptcy after Golden Pass cost overruns exposed execution breakdown and liquidity strain.
  • Zachry laid off 4,410 workers; a WARN class action alleges illegal notice violations.
  • Golden Pass replaced Zachry; another megaproject failure would damage reputation and bidding power.
