Dave leases some of his land to an energy company that installed four turbines on his property. And then his son, who's nearby, also has turbines on his farm, and so does his neighbor. So this, like, little community in northern Iowa, a bunch of farmers with their wind turbines, and he speaks really, really highly of wind energy.

He has a lot of hogs and cattle, but he installed turbines as a way to generate like supplementary income. So the price of livestock can change over time, but wind energy tends to be more stable. So it's actually a boon to him to have turbines on his land.

Exactly. Exactly. And he told me that it's not just him that's benefiting, but the whole state of Iowa benefits from having the wind turbines on his land.

Yeah, I mean, so this is one of the reasons why I wanted to talk to him, because like many Iowans, he says that he is Republican and he supports Trump. But it's not because of Trump's views on energy.

And Dave also told me that he's not really worried about what Trump has said negatively about wind energy. He kind of disregards it as like, oh yeah, he just runs his mouth. Don't worry about it. Let's see what he actually does.

Yeah, it's actually like pretty common. So Texas is another great example. It actually produces more wind power than any other state in the country. It actually accounts for about a fourth or actually over a fourth of all wind energy produced in the U.S. It's coming from Texas, which of course is a Republican state. Same with Oklahoma and your home state of Kansas.

And then Florida is another example. It's a big solar state, so we're not just talking about wind. So you have a lot of red states that are producing renewables.
