But for a lot of people, they don't want to see these things.

They are there because it's this beautiful, bucolic, lovely fields and waving grain, and they don't want to see them.

There's a lot of misinformation out about them.

Sometimes when you go to these areas, you hear from people that

Maybe the farmers aren't the ones as opposed, but it's folks who've moved from cities and towns who came specifically to be in a rural, beautiful area, but they are not actually making their living from that ground.

And so there can be a little bit of tension there between

Folks who, you know, maybe they have five acres, but they don't have 400 acres and they don't want their, you know, their viewscape destroyed in their words.

And the farmers are like, hey, it's my land.

I'll do what I want with it.

So there's a lot of tensions.

Well, President Trump has been strongly anti-wind since at least 2011, when it was proposed to build wind turbines off the Scottish coast, which you could see from one of his golf courses.

And he fought that all the way to the Supreme Court over there.

And he ended up losing.

So he has long had an extreme dislike of wind turbines, solar turbines.

More recently, the argument that the administration has made is that these forms of energy are unreliable, that they don't make sense because they're heavily subsidized.

And if they're not subsidized, then they economically don't make sense, which isn't actually true.

And the Trump administration has really doubled down on fossil fuels, so coal, oil, natural gas, and wants to put America's efforts behind it.

those as opposed to wind and solar, which unsubsidized wind and solar is still among the cheapest ways to generate electricity.

They are.

And people have a lot of conflicting feelings sometimes.
