Well, sure. People in Oklahoma are used to windmills, albeit much smaller
ones. Windmills are everywhere.

A windmill here and there is a far cry from several hundred wind
generating turbines.

And, altho beside the point, the number of windmills is rapidly
dwindling as there is a use for solar that is catching on pretty quickly
where they haven't gone to submersible grid power (or in many places
they're making the move to solar from the grid). Water tables are lower
and windmills require a lot of maintenance.
