Have you ever been to one of the antiwind aggregator sites? Before becoming active on DUEE I watched it develop. They started slamming wind on the internet out of the coal fields of England when they shifted the subsidies they were paying to the coal industry to the wind industry. Its next manifiestaion was funded by (among others) the Koch Brothers in Cape Cod. That was the core from which all the rest of it grew, and now they have a massive presence on the web.
People really don't appreciate the depth of this effort.
