For transmission projects through Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas as well as for wind farm projects in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles as well as in western Kansas this is a perfect opportunity to build a coalition by providing Republicans representing those areas with a way to bring home the bacon by supporting wind projects.  The money to build the farms and the transportation infrastructure would have to be spent in their states and districts.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
