A nationwide wind resources survey by the U.S. Department of Energy indicates that three states-North Dakota, Kansas and Texas-have enough harnessable wind energy to satisfy national electricity needs.

The generation of electricity from wind is exciting because money spent for this electricity typically stays in the community, whereas money spent for electricity generated by oil may end up in the Middle East. Moreover, with cheap wind-generated electricity, hydrogen, the preferred fuel for fuel cell engines, can be produced during the night when electricity demand is low.

TXU to purchase energy from 82.5-MW Texas wind farm

TXU's share of the project will be 31.5 MW, with an undisclosed share going to the Lower Colorado River Authority, the company said in statement.

The wind farm will consist of 125 three-bladed wind turbines standing 165-feet tall with each blade approximately 75-feet long.

In July, TXU announced a contract to purchase renewable energy from a 160-MW wind farm in West Texas. The company also purchases power from a 40-MW wind farm near Big Spring.
