He opened a fully staffed office and sent people around to fishermen groups and environmentalists (concerned about damaging the sea floor) to raise more money and opposition to the plan which would put windmills in waters just off his shore line south of Cape Cod. They were in business for about 5 years until finally all financing dried up for the project and a new site was established federally 15 or 20 miles south and (mostly, we hope) out of sight.

The whole family of 4 brothers are like Trump, spoiled rotten with inherited money and thoughtless of anyone else.
