And the beauty of it is, a huge amount of that is just rangeland, which is basically unimproved land where the cows wander around eating the natural vegetation. The cows don't give a damn if there are some windmills scattered around so the land becomes dual-use and it has very little actual effect on their range.
This is almost certainly the case with most of the acreage used by this project. There's a whole lotta nothing in that area except cattle range and a few tiny farming communities.
