A good news story, especially for the DFW area. But do you see my point when you read even this article? Sound energy policy is being influenced by trendy wacko morons who today scream at the top of lungs “save the planet” and “global warming” and in 5 years those same morons would be the same ones waving their finger in the air saying it’s a conspiracvy of big business bla bla bla when their power bill goes through the roof, or they sit in a hot sweaty box in the summer with the power turned off. Pragmatism in energy policy has been superseded with trendy fads. As I stated before, for 30 years no one got a permit to build a nuclear power plant. Why did we begin to have shortages in refining capacity over the years? Look at the ANWR fiasco and what a political game that is. Yet we talk about how bad our dependence on foreign oil is and these outrageous fuel prices........

Trendy political BS is heavily influencing national energy policies. That’s my greater point.

If that is your point, I agree with it. But it has been a truth in the energy business for many decades. You are only describing today's flavor of a very long diet.
