It is worth noting Texas has it's own grid seperated from the west and east grids supplying most of the rest of the world. I had a relative who was a project manager on some of the big wind installs in Texas, but for some reason I can't remember his main criticism of the project which caused him to move over to solar work...

- mikeyouse 10y agoThey're building some huge interconnect HVDC lines to the rest of the country from the Panhandle region. There's a 4GW, 600kv line slated for completion in 2018 that's going to bring Texas and Oklahoma wind power to the TVA. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/huge-transmission-line-will-send-oklahoma-wind-power-to-tennessee/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/huge-transmission...
