Texas is a dumb-ass, regressive state in many ways. Wind power isn't one of them: en.wikipedia.org " Wind power in Texas consists of many wind farms with a total installed nameplate capacity of 10,377 MW [1] from over 40 different projects. Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state, followed by Iowa with 4,322 MW. [1] The wind boom in Texas was assisted by expansion of the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, use of designated Competitive Renewable Energy Zones, expedited transmission construction, and the necessary Public Utility Commission rule-making. [2] " Having made the drive on I-10 form CA to Austin many times, I was amazed that every time, I saw more and more windmills. Hundreds of them. Texans seem to get that once those turbines pay for themselves, it's nearly FREE ENERGY from then on. No fuel costs. Slight maintenance costs.
