NORTH HAVEN, Maine – The Knox County Sheriff’s Department says Matthew Simmons, the founder of the Ocean Energy Institute, drowned at his house on North Haven late Sunday night.
Simmons was a leading investment bankerfor the energy industry and had recently retired to work full time on the new Ocean Energy Institute.
He was a leading proponent of offshore wind power and had started raising money to develop and build offshore turbines.
He and his family had also bought and rebuilt the Old Strand Theater in downtown Rockland.
Editor’s Note: His death is already suspicious as others are reporting a heart attack. Simmons was a loud critic of the “propaganda” swirling around the Gulf oil disaster. See clip below:
