Ah yes, the "West Texas Put" as the folks in the industry refer to it. Wind is cool, but getting power from the turbines to the consumers is hard; you can't time-shift generation to when you want to consume it; and if the wind suddenly stops blowing, you've got a massive problem on your hands (though because TX has a lot of natural gas generation, the problem is somewhat mitigated).
