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
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.

Take away the politicians and you cut that in half.

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