That's like saying don't advocate for wind power because it'll upset middle America coal miners.

There's a huge rural constituency for wind farming (for example in Iowa). There is not a huge rural constituency for large cuts in livestock production.

Do you think coal mining and gas fracking are also the domain of "rural producers"? If so, seems like it'll be the same problem...

There's big regional differences at play in the politics of energy production. I'm in Iowa right now, where even the farthest-right Federal politician has to be strongly behind wind, solar and biofuels.
