Wind Power in West Texas

Another little tale from my recent travels: I sat next to an elderly man who was flying from Palm Beach to some little town in west Texas (never heard of it) to see the new “windmills” on his family property. This was the first trip this man had taken in five years (he was in a wheelchair), but he just had to see his contribution to providing energy to his tiny home town. He believes that one of his “mills” provides enough energy for 90 homes. (I sure hope he was given the right info!) But, apparently, Texas provides more energy to the grid via wind power than any other state. That’s pretty cool.
