Old link was for announcing the original pilot and they've built that one, they are already scaling it in China and other places why not scale it in the US?

You seem confused about something, that link is announcing a 5-10 MW system they didn't build. Or rather what they built is the system that you're calling useless.

That question is answered in the comment you replied to. China doesn't care about things like marine life and runs on giant government capital investments.

Well you sure seem to think so, while everything pointing to the fact that they are just bringing the initial pilot to full capacity rather than developing or scaling the technology further.
