I still think this is the reason. "He wanted to wait to pick the moment which generated the maximum amount of anger from you for doing it, and from me for not doing it. I guess this is where the curves crossed." "what any ordinary person could have done in days" He's not ordinary. Any ordinary person would have said, "No way I'm gonna be a politician". Any ordinary pol would have said, "I'm changing my name to Bob Smith".

Government Pays Chinese-backed Firm $47 Million for Unwanted N.J. Wind Farm Project Washington Free Beacon by Washington Free Beacon Staff The U.S. federal government has awarded a Chinese-backed energy firm $47 million to construct a wind farm in Atlantic City, N.J., after the state rejected the project twice. Fishermen’s Energy firm has been lobbying to build five windmills on the New Jersey coast that would cost about $188 million, according to theWashington Times. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities rejected the project twice saying it was too risky for ratepayers. The WashingtonTimes reports: “Fishermen’s is confident that the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities will recognize the vetting by the DOE of the project, and will now engage with Fishermen’s to finalize our … application so the project can proceed expeditiously,” said Chris Wissemann, the company’s CEO, the Associated Press reported. Greg Reinert, a spokesman for the New Jersey utilities board, declined to offer much for AP’s story, aside from noting that Fishermen’s Energy is appealing the project’s most recent denial in court. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities concluded in April that the Chinese company did not demonstrate financial integrity.
