It doesn't surprise me but most people outside of TX would be surprised. Its not the kind of image TX presents to the country; in fact, TX looks to be all in on oil and natural gas. And yet, the state is heavily into renewable energy. They aren't stupid. They get that once it's amortized it's free energy. They understand energy economics. If they don't have to burn fuel all that fuel cost becomes extra profit. It's not like they're 'passing the savings along'!

And yet, the state is heavily into renewable energy. To the contrary, I would say the the loudest voice in the nation's history on renewables has been Boone Pickens, a Texan, who wanted to put windfarms in Texas and other places as well. But Pickens wasn't a bundler, wasn't really a supporter. And the money went to Solyndra instead. If you're going to play with Obama you had better be on his side. He doesn't know how to negotiate.
