Wind Energy Called for in Heart of Oil Country

The wind does blow mercilessly across Central and West Texas and more folks are seeing dollar signs in creating infrastructure to harness that resource. Here in Wyoming, there is a virtual inexhaustible supply of wind energy, more than enough to eliminate all kinds of taxes statewide from sales taxes to property taxes to all citizen-based revenues required to support and pay for state and local government. Add in solar energy for the rare times when the wind does not blow sufficiently enough for energy generation, and this state is well positioned to be an energy giant in the new era of mainstream renewable energy.
