Renewable Energy in Texas.Public Citizen’s Texas office promotes public policies that replace dirty and dangerous energy source such as coal, oil and nuclear power with clean, renewable sources of power such as wind, solar and biomass. Texas'current role as a leading producer of renewable leader is due in large part to ongoing efforts by the Texas office of Public Citizen. Many of the world’s largest wind power projects operate atop mesas in West Texas and on the plains in the Texas Panhandle. Several wind power projects in or near the Gulf Coast also are in the works. At the same time, Texas has barely tapped into its potential to be a world leader in the production of renewable energy. |
