What we need is someone to convince them it's modern art to cover the hills with windmills, then the pretentious yuppie scum will go "OOOOOOHHH CULTCHA!" and we'll have the damned things up by next weekend.
I think the opposition is regional. Unfortunately, the wind is in sparsely populated states and Northeastern oil power does not want mountain states to get the economic power. So, they refuse to authorize the legislation needed to build the transmission lines. Not sure where the reservation is you are mentioning, but patronizing democrats would probably argue that the Abramhoff scandal shows that Indians can't handle money.
