I haven't seen the movie, so any conjuring of Daniel Day Lewis is purely coincidental. Perhaps I shouldn't have invoked Boone Pickens. But seriously, a key point that may have gotten lost here in all this conjuring is that communities come to National Wind expressing interest in a project. Nobody comes to town trying to force anything on anybody. And once a project is started, a majority interest in the LLC stays with the community. The advisory board is comprised of community participants. Like I said, I didn't see the movie, but I think the similarities between the two are the joys of an overactive imagination. All the bowling pins stay in the bowling alley. Wow – that sure wasn’t the image I was trying to conjure… I haven’t seen the movie, so any conjuring of Daniel Day Lewis is purely coincidental.

And then in the end he murders a preacher with an old-timey bowling pin. Sounds fishy to me.
