I was clumsy with wording. Its a 3 Billion investment to get 7.5 Billion in economic activity not a 7.5 billion dollar ROI.
If the government offered to subsidize anything by 50% you could generate a similar amount of economic activity. If you offered a say a 3 billion dollar subsidy to build an oil sands facility, industry would easily come up with the other 4.5 billion and it would have an ongoing profit and continual economic activity.
