He was working on a project called Revolution Wind.
It's off the coast of Rhode Island, and it would provide clean energy for hundreds of thousands of households in the Northeast and hopefully stabilize their power rates.
Because once the wind farm is up, it doesn't really require a lot of inputs.
It's not like coal mining where you have to mine coal every day.
It's not like burning natural gas where you have to get more natural gas.
The wind blows for free.
And so Nick really saw this as a fantastic job.
It's in his hometown.
And he felt, you know, looking at the way America was going, especially under President Biden, that green energy was an important field.
It was important for the country.
It was important for his environment and for his neighbors.
And so he was really frustrated when the president tried to kill this project.
And a judge just overturned that decision.
And so he his buddies went out and celebrated the other night, but they still don't know when they're getting back to work.
I mean, Nick went through a whole bunch of very specialized training so that he could actually go out and paint in the wind turbines as they're being installed off the coast, right?
Which requires familiarity and expertise with boats, with first aid, with high angle rope rescues.
You know, this is not sitting in a factory painting something with a can.
