Quick! Which state has the most wind power in the US? It's Texas.

Stereotypes are oh so useful for obscuring the truth.

The amount of new wind power added in Texas in the last 2 to 3 years in incredible.  As one example, the drive west from Abilene to Sweetwater and then south through the small town of Winters is mind-boggling.  Wind towers in every direction to the horizon.  Awesome sight.   More fields are planned north and east of Lubbock near the community of Silverton.

These emissions are in our name. The rest of the country enjoys the hydrocarbons and related products texas produces, while texas suffers from the pollution. What a deal.
Similarly, the rest of world produces most of our hudrocarbons and, probably, other goods, and suffers the related pollution. Non-producing states never had it so good.
