Texas is going moron too!

That should be the headline. California has rolling brownouts because for years they have been suppressing the expansion of the supply in power. Texas is now following suit. Like California with their pathetic wind generators in the North that supply hardly enough power to even be worth mentioning, at an elevated cost, Texas now also is deciding to go "green".

What this really means is nuclear or coal, the only viable alternatives that can produce power in mass and low cost are not being developed as need be to keep up with demand. Do you know what happens when demand outruns supply? Ask yourself that question the next time you fill up your car. But it was very ecological and people loved it when we saved the planet and denied firms years ago the development of new refining capacity wasn't it?

It's easy to take positions that are not viable in such cases as power. Those responsible will not be directly associated with it (Example Davis in California), the damage will appear in five to ten years, present day this appeases the global warming and antinuclear agenda nut-bags. It's a victimless crime like the illegal alien situation where the political leadership in this country is failing the people. It's nothing more than passing on the buck, because eventually, like California today under Governor Schwarzenegger, the issue will need addressed. But by then the people will be paying the price of cheap political ploys.

Give it ten years and the people of Texas will pay in blood for electricity. In the meantime, celebrate the states largest solar project! Bravo, great job!/sarc

Let's see...we are adding two new nuclear generators, three new coal plants, and this year about 2000 MW of wind power. The state also has its own electrical grid. In spite of everyone and their dog moving here, we'll have electricity.

Just and FYI: Texas leads California is megawatts generated by wind farms.

Congratulations. You win the prize for the most hysteria because a private company decided to include Solar power as part of their development.
