It’s a sure sign of changing times when conservative investors embrace new technologies. In Wyoming, the biggest wind farm in the US, is being built with the money of conservative billionaire Philip Anschutz, who got his start in his father’s oil business. The farm with 1,000 turbines will be large enough to power every single home in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. However, the project faces an obstacle because conservative Republican state legislators consider raising a state tax on renewable energy. Wyoming is currently the only state in America to tax wind energy.
