1. Yes it's amazing...

My home state of Texas of all places leading the nation in wind energy. :beer:

When an oil tycoon like T. Boone Pickens plans to start a wind farm in W. Texas that will be largest in the freaking WORLD, you know that money is FINALLY being able to be made in alternative energy sources.
