Back durong the Heptarchy pretty much everything north of the Humber was the Kingdom of Northumbria. The Danes took the southern half of the Kingdowm, leaving a Northumbria rump state over the approximate location of modern day Northumberland/Tyne and Wear.
I’m gonna tell you right now it is more than just one county. Every rural county in Ohio has wind turbines on the ballot every election cycle, with the farmers opposed and the town/village residents in favor. Part of that started off because (in my county) the electricity was mostly going to go to Michigan rather than lowering rates here in NW Ohio. But that quickly evolved into “wind turbines cause brain cancer”
