The COVID pandemic won't go away, either. BTW, the article is about Romney running for reelection to the Senate and not about a possible Presidential run. Romney's standing among Utah voters is an indicator of how establishment Republicans are faring with the party base.

“The state was home to 526 turbines before 2019. Another 511 were constructed from 2019 to 2021.”
Not difficult to see where this is headed. It won't be long before urban politicians will be complaining about wind barons in rural areas. Those big city mayors will be demanding rate cuts and an end to subsidies. And urbanites will be up in arms over rural areas cheating cities. It's not...
