In Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming, four Democratic governors who have supported clean energy may be replaced by Republicans who have expressed fealty to big oil in the November 2010 elections.

When the Governors of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas find out they can produce the majority of their electrical needs with wind powered generators, clean energy will no longer have a bad name. The majority of thier electrical power is now generated by coal fired power plants. They have to buy coal out of state, with wind powered generators they can keep the money in state. They have a surplus of wind in these states.
