Horrific? Considering the amount of energy Oklahoma is exporting - check your propane supply.

Do you have a source for the 40% please?
OK as of Aoril 7, 2025, that 40% includes Solar.
From Wikipedia
Wind power in Texas, a portion of total energy in Texas, consists of over 150 wind farms, which together have a total nameplate capacity of over 30,000 MW.
If Texas were a country, it would rank fifth in the world; the installed wind capacity in Texas exceeds installed wind capacity in all countries but China, the United States, Germany and India.
Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state. According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, wind power accounted for at least 15. Wikipedia

Y'all do know any ol person can edit Wikipedia? Not that the above info isn't correct - I haven't checked. But be careful if you rely on wiki for "facts".

Be at the Arbuckle Mountains at barely sunrise on a summer morning when the fog lifts and out of nowhere windmills are coming out of the fog. Erie and beautiful.
You have to make decisions - power or bunnies. How is your A/C?

Been to Arbuckle, before those monstrosities were up. Yep, we all have to make decisions. I still think they are horrific and prefer other power sources.

Day by day the winds seem to be blowing harder with these 1000's now in place.
Many States seem to have 500 or so supplying part time juices. If they don't break off.

I believe Florida is the 2nd biggest power producer. Needs checked though.

We have these as well. I just can’t find my photos. I’ve got pictures of turbine windmills in fields of bright yellow mustard plantsIf there were dotted along the coastline then they would be power generating turbines.
We have them here in Australia as well.
