Texas Taxpayers Pay for Wind Power and Then Pay the Grid to Take It

Interesting. Just northwest of Georgetown is Lake Georgetown, a reservoir created with a dam created by the USCorps in 1979. It was for flood control and drinking water.

Maybe they ought to consider pumping water into it on those windy nights and adding a generator.

"A conservative town in red Texas led by a Republican mayor going green – how cool is that?"

This continues to be frustrating. If politics was actually about ideology then going green and gaining energy independence would be a super republican thing to do.

As opposed to oil which isn’t subsidized at all by taxpayers?

let me remind you, Oil is massively subsided w.r.t. military presence in every oil producing country in Middle East ... If big oil ponyed up their own physical security task force, price at the pumps would skyrocket

I believe they were being sarcastic.
