Texas Sets New All-Time Wind Energy Record
2016-01-24 03:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: On December 20, a low-pressure weather system crossed through the Texas panhandle and created sustained wind speeds of 20 to 30 mph. The burst of wind propelled Texas to surpass its all-time record for wind energy production, with wind providing 45 percent of the states total electricity needs or 13.9 gigawatts of electric power at its peak. Thats 13,900,000,000 watts: enough electricity to power over 230 million conventional 60 watt incandescent light bulbs, or more than 11 times the 1.21...
