Clean Energy In the News

Environment Texas set up many pinwheels at Hermann Park to support a move towards energy generated from wind power. Supporters want Texas politicians to know that wind turbines could help increase jobs, decrease America's dependency on fossil fuels and reduce pollution. Supporters believe Texas is the perfect state for wind farms.

"Texas is very spread out so we have a lot of room for wind farms," Aaron Waldorf of Environment Texas said. "A lot of times wind farms rely on rural areas in order to be built and there are so many farms and ranches [here.] Plenty of room for people to build wind farms."

The group wants local politicians to sponsor a renewable resources bill set for discussion in the State House pretty soon.
