When I worked at a Texas Electric Utility, we referred to it as “dirt that burns”.
When my wife and I made the huge decision to pull up stakes in California and move to Texas, we had little appreciation for what a sound decision we were making.
At the time, we were mostly impressed with the great housing prices, and the better character of the place.
Once we were here, and we began to learn more and more about the state, I was in a constant state of surprise at the positives that kept popping up. Suffice it to say that I now feel like we stumbled onto the one safe island in a sea of storms and chaos.
And now this. As if the future weren't already bright enough for Texas. This state could once again become a major exporter of fuel for the rest of the country. Outstanding!
