The reason the green energy industry would work for Texas,

If you know anything about the economy of Texas, you know that this state is rich with petroleum. Ask anyone in Midland or Odessa. Ask people in the Greater Houston area. You have a state that sits atop the Permian Basin, a large oil reserve in west-cetral Texas. Well, I don't believe that oil is the only industry to be striving for in Texas. There is another industry to look to for the future. Look to the green energy industry. It can work for Texas. We are talking about the second biggest state in the USA. One of the sunniest states in the USA. A state with alot of wind in its northern and western parts. Texas already produces the most amount of wind power in the USA. Quite interesting considering that Texas is among the most oil rich states in the USA. Wind power is a competitor of oil. I have heard that oil companies would try to stop the expansion of wind power. I say, expand wind power even more. Texas can do it. It is doing it now. I say do it MORE. Build some more wind farms. Build a plant to manufacture the stuff to build more windmills. Build some windmills out on the Gulf of Mexico. The nation of Denmark is putting windmills out on the North Sea. Why not more for Texas? Solar power can work on a phenomenal level for Texas. Some of the sunniest portions of the USA are in Texas, especially western Texas. With all of the solar radiation, why not?
