[ot_caving] Wind energy Texas
Would you believe Texas has almost twice the amount of wind energy - installed - than Calif? Texas had 4,296 Megawatts and Calfi had 2,439 in 2007. That makes us a big part of the US total of 16.596 for 2007. Calif and Texas had about the same in 2006. 2739 in Texas and 2,376 for Calif.

That also means we have more installed then Denmark (only 3,136MW). AND we are still building as fast as they can erect them. Currently at about three million (per 1.5MW capacity tower) each thats a lot of money the private energy company's are spending. And it is a lot of maintenance to keep them up. Hope the wind stays within range so someone can see that power to make a return on their investment.

Re: [ot_caving] Wind energy Texas
Tornadoes are random and sporadic events. But, I do wonder if the 1.5 Megawatt state-of-art wind turbine could survive one. - or a hurricane - or those freakish straight line winds that do tornado-like damage. -WaV On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 9:08 AM, Terry Holsinger tr...@sprynet.com wrote: That also means we have more installed then Denmark (only 3,136MW).

Re: [ot_caving] Wind energy Texas
'Hope the wind stays within range so someone can see that power to make a return on their investment.' I heard a man from one of the big oil bunch - I think it was Chevron - say he believed that wind or solar would be the cheapest way to go in the future. 'That also means we have more installed then Denmark (only 3,136MW).' Yes, but it is a bigger percentage of what they as a country use.

My uneducated guess is that a hurricane, probably but a tornado direct hit, doubtful.
