A little math: right now, Texas produces a little over 5,000 megawatts, with California, in second place, trailing behind with almost 2,500 megawatts. With these new transmission lines in place, the Panhandle turbines would be pumping out some 18,000 megawatts—enough energy to power 4 million homes.
-Patrick Dentler, over at Austinist with the news that Texas plans on investing $4.9 billion in wind energy.
Huh, what do you know. Texas beats California everyone* in the wind energy game**.
*in the United States
**Yes, it is a competition.
