We're off to the neighborhood of make believe this afternoon! Let's get in the mood!
Remember how "lean and mean" Clean Line got last week, when most of its employees abandoned ship? Well, it's apparently gotten even leaner this week, as Head Rat Michael Skelly abandoned his own ship.

Oh, so now even Skelly had to get a real job? That's pretty funny. Now Michael Skelly is just another briefcase totin' drone. No more tilting at windmills.
Except, who wrote this press release? I'm still trying to wrap my brain around Skelly being described as:

He is an accomplished strategic thinker...
...his expertise in developing large-scale infrastructure projects
It must be a different Michael Skelly. They certainly can't be talking about the Michael Skelly who spent over $200M of investors' money on a crackpot idea to build 2,000 miles of merchant transmission "for wind" that never attracted any commercial interest. No customers. No revenue. No transmission lines. Who spends more than $200M "developing" something that never earns a dime of revenue and then is called "accomplished." Unless, of course, they meant "accomplished" in a "The Big Short" kind of way.
Expertise in developing projects? Certainly transmission lines cannot be included in those projects, since none of Michael Skelly's Clean Line's projects ever got close to being built.
King Friday XIII must have written this press release:

King Friday XIII must have written this press release:
Mr. Skelly is the founder and Chairman of Clean Line Energy Partners, a leading U.S. renewable energy infrastructure company.
Leading? Leading whom? If Clean Line is at the head of this parade, I wonder who is bringing up the rear... Solyndra? Perhaps they meant leading in the amount of investor cash wasted on an idea the energy industry said would never pan out? That's the only parade Clean Line seems to be leading.
Oh, and hey, look at that.... Michael Skelly has been promoted to Chairman of Clean Line Energy Partners in 2018. Is that because he's now the only board member and chairman by default?
So now Michael Skelly is working for some other "financial advisory" company to bring home a paycheck. Can we just quit pretending that he's going to build Grain Belt Express now? How is one man working only on nights and weekends going to build a 750-mile transmission line when an entire company couldn't pull it off before?
Move on, Michael Skelly, move on. Go have a nice life pumping cash out of people with more money than brains, and tilting at new and improved windmills with other people's money. Just go away, won't you?
