As long as you are determined to generate power far, far away from where it's needed.
Nobody would ever get incredibly rich at the expense of the taxpayers and customers for being selected to provide additional transmission lines and capacity would they....especially if those selections are behind closed door. And companies would never let it be known that they'd hire administration officials and give them cushy jobs if they helped them out...That never happens with government agencies and the energy industry, nope, nosirree, nothing to see...

If they are going to spend billions on green energy why not just install solar panels on homes and buildings instead of erecting transmission lines??
Somebody is going to make money off of this. A lot of money. While it's fun to play the conspiracy theory game, the fact is this whole thing sounds like it's being setup to make some company a helluva lot of money at the expense of taxpayers by removing choices from the states. The fact that it concerns an industry and government agencies that have a history of scratching each others backs, and government agencies that have some ex-employees ending up with cushy jobs within that industry just screams out to me that somebody is setting something up to make a lot of money.

Really, given the short time it’s taken for them to start to close the pen gates, do you really think there was time to implement that plan?
Your book is only 2 years old. The lulling to sleep of large masses has a corollary effect in that those who were wary (your immediate audience) have been left unsure of themselves precisely because so few are listening. “Maybe it’s just me” has been the most common response. Akin to being awakened by a noise, listening intently, then rolling over and going back to sleep.
There’s no doubt about it. You’ve tried diligently, more than most, to employ your prodigious intelligence constructively and pass along you experiences hoping to counter the propaganda mills. But, with their constant pumping of somma and lies in equal measure, and them having so many outlets, how could one man do it alone?
And then there is that impatience which grabs you from time to time that repels potential listeners. It cannot be that all those who fought you here are plants: the ignorant are often sensitive to that fact. It takes a diplomatic soul to get past that reflexive defense in order to reach our better angels. Is that one of the things you’ve prayed to become better at?
