For a laugh, Google "Saudi Arabia of Wind"
I was curious who might have first uttered that tired phrase. Try it. The results are hilarious. Pretty much every state and country that has an outdoors has gratuitously been called that by Iberdrola or some other developer.
Not unlike "We think you might have the bank account number we've been looking for. Just send it to us and we'll let you know if you're the winner, you sucker."

What a fortunate state you are to have such a wind resource, and to have an ex-governor like me...who isn't content to screw you for only eight years. No, I'm back again....this time not to sell you laptops or CarTest...but to de-bunk myths. Don't mind this Saudi Arabian head-dress.
