Doug Nelson on Proxy Voting, Wind Turbine Bans, and the Truth About AI Data Centers

Nebraska farmer Doug Nelson joins Trent Loos on Rural Route to expose how massive investment firms like Vanguard use proxy voting to control company decisions using their clients' own money. The two dig into rural cooperative board elections, revealing why voters often pick candidates without knowing enough about them, and how that hurts leadership. Doug explains why Knox County banned wind and solar development and won a tough court battle against renewable energy developers. Trent and Doug challenge the popular claim that America is losing an AI data center race with China, backing it up with real numbers. They also tackle Nebraska politics, hidden taxes, and government subsidies driving up land prices.
