Our growing thirst for energy means today's projects dwarf most past endeavors. The Hoover Dam cost $49 million in 1936. Adjusted for inflation, that's only $825 million today.
Gorgon is the largest natural gas project in Australian history, and one of the largest natural gas projects in the world. Chevron is the lead company.

Production is slated to begin in 2014.
