Regardless of all that --- I certainly don't see anything "wrong" with Bush RECOGNIZING the very great resource that those winds blowing over the Texas plains represent!

Geographically blessed!

...On energy – an area in which his administration drew criticism for its ties to fossil-fuel industries – he mentioned that he had said in a State of the Union address that America was addicted to oil.

“If you’re a guy from Texas and you say America is addicted to oil, it’s a surprising moment,” Mr. Bush said.

As Texas governor, Mr. Bush signed the 1999 renewable portfolio standard that set Texas on a path to leadership in the wind industry. It now leads the nation by far in wind power, with nearly three times as much installed capacity as the next closest state, Iowa.
