What I don't understand is why, in a place like America with huge stretches of land you couldn't just build a factory that makes wind turbines and then get some all terrain vehicles to go plant the turbines. Or even just build a road.
You can build a factory; such things already exist. The problem is getting turbine blades from factory to installation site.
Building a road or otherwise crossing peoples' property is hard legally. You can make it happen, but it'll cost you years of delay and huge amounts of money.
