Renewable Energy Winds Sweep Across Texas

This CleanTX Forum discusses Texas’ wind-energy leading edge and what is needed to propel growth as dollars blow in...

Last year, Texas became the top wind producer in the United States, far surpassing California, with over 3,300 wind generated megawatts installed—enough to power almost 1 million homes. It is predicted that two- thirds of future US wind-energy generation will happen in the Lone Star State, where three of the world’s top-five wind farms are located.

With 20% of our electricity being used to produce light, the simplest thing we can do to save electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our home and businesses is to replace our light bulbs. With countries like Australia already phasing out traditional incandescent lights, many new high efficiency lighting systems will begin reaching mass market acceptance. High brightness Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) represent the de facto winner of the new revolution in lighting.
