  They’re definitely not only in red states, CA has a ton, for example. They’re certainly overrepresented among red states though, because the wind blows hard on the plains

    They are often in red areas of blue states as well, simply from a population density perspective. You don’t put large turbines in cities, it would be unsafe (all turbines need to have a certain distance from other structures including other turbines in case they fall over or launch ice from their blades or something).

      The wind industry would benefit from rural depopulation, fewer ignorants around to jam up projects
