At the end of the day, yes, I'm looking to create a lot of wealth.

Our deals and performance speak for themselves. And whoever doesn't feel comfortable investing with us will not.

Everyone comes with dreams and illusions and promises. Everyone wants quick deals. They don't want to invest.

That is what we know how to do better than anyone else: We know how to maximize value for our projects. If the government would like to hire my services to maximize value for their stake, they should approach me. No problem.

For sure, the 'Obamania' that's fast taking hold reflects an incredible thirst for change in global politics and, dare I say, a wave of optimism that things can be different.

Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results.

It's no secret that the environmental movement is ultimately designed to create new inroads into increased government control. All of the shots taken at emissions, the dependence on fossil fuels, and noise pollution are designed to paint those things as symptoms of a problem, with the government able to step in as the solution.

I guess for every government - for many governments, they only have short vision, they only have three-year term or a four-year term. So they have to make sure they get enough support from the voter. So they probably have to deal with more short-term issues which are related to being re-elected.
