Houston Sets Right Example By Adopting Wind Power

Houston, the fossil fuel capital of America, is setting the right examples by converting to wind power. On July 1, Houston will receive 25 percent of its electricity from wind energy. Wind farms in West Texas will provide the needed wind energy, and at a savings to consumers. A kilowatt hour of wind-generated electricity costs 7.5 cents, compared with 9.5 cents for a kilowatt hour of conventional power.
