We have been drilling the Permian Basin and its formations for about 100 years, and it is still pumping more than we thought it could.

With modern technology, it is also pumping at a cost that allows profits even at $40 per barrel. Plus a bunch of natural gas and volatiles.

Add in ~4000 windmills scattered around West Texas, and one day Texas might get a reputation for energy know how.

Texas already produces the most wind power in the Republic.
