In 2012 The Guardian published a document written by Rich Porter - an Illinois anti-wind energy attorney and edited by John Droz, a senior fellow at the American Tradition Institute, an anti-renewables right-wing non-profit . Porter had submitted the document for discussion at a summit of a coalition of anti-wind power organizations in Washington DC in February of 2011.
Porter's paper laid out a proposal for a public relations offensive specifically designed to "subvert" the efforts of wind power proponents through collusion with right-wing organizations such as ALEC, Americans for Prosperity, The Heartland Institute and The Cato and Brookings Institutes.
The enemy of my enemy is, indeed, my friend it seems; between neighborhood NIMBY organizations, Big Oil & Gas, right-wing think tanks and special interests of every stripe, clean wind energy has a fight on its hands; and ground zero is the state of Wisconsin.
