But that message did not play well with many   in lowa, where wind turbines dot the fields an-d provide 36 percent of the state's electricity   generation — and where tech giants like Micr-osoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers.

①这是一个复合句，主句部分 But that message did not play well with many in Iowa 为主谓宾结构，表示“但这个说法在爱荷华州的许多人中不受欢迎”，"that message" 是主语，"did not play well with" 是谓语动词短语，"many in Iowa" 是宾语，其中“in Iowa”是介词短语作后置定语，限定“man-y”。

②定语从句where wind turbines dot the fields a-nd provide 36 percent of the state's electricity generation — and where tech giants like Micro-soft are being attracted by the availability of c-lean energy to power their data centers.用破折号和and连接，形成并列结构，共同说明Iowa的两个特征—既有风力发电的优势，又因此吸引了科技巨头。

【翻译】：但这个说法在爱荷华州并不怎么被大众认可：该州的风力涡轮机遍布田野，并且供应着该州36％的电力—微软等科技巨头也被这里容易获得的清洁能源吸引，想用清洁能源为其数据中心供电。
