What to do...

Texas continues to grow.
Our population that is.

(Unless the Rio Grande changes its course, the land mass is constant.)

In order to meet this demand for more energy, the Current, (and now re-elected) Govenor has fast tracked the construction of 14 or so Coal fired Electric plants.

I favor solar and wind solutions.
Wind especially.
And Texas is now the number one wind generating state in the US.

But I can understand the Govenor's position, even though I disagree with him.

Coal takes a lot of energy.
Human and other wise.

People have to
mine it,
sell it,
buy it,
ship it,
burn it,
clean up after it,
legislate it,
etc., etc., etc.

Build a wind generator and although it produces clean renewable perpetual engery, it doesn't employ many folks...

That being said.
What good does having a lot of jobs if the world is so poluted you can't breathe?

The USA consumes more energy than any other country.
The USA creates more polution than any other country.

The state of Texas produces more Carbon Dioxide (green house gas) than the entire country of Great Britain. (GB uses alot of Nuclear instead).

If I recall, Texas is number 13 on the list of CD producers.
That is

Texas,
Great Britain (a country)...

Fortunately, there are many concerned people, including many Mayors of important Texas Cities, who are ready to do something about the Coal Burning and polution.

Namely,
sue the Govenor and the power companies...

rock on!
