Bruce burned out on frozen wastelandI believe he just got tired of visiting that frozen wasteland too many times.He kept talking the project up for years and finally decided to just go ahead with the mine,hopefully to get the thing moving.Then,when someone(anyone) came along with an offer,he jumped at it.Kind of reminded me of that original Star Trek episode,where they went though a time portal and found poor Mariet Hartley stranded forever in some freezing cave.Bruce will probably never visit again,if this goes through.
