How much Texas Electricity Comes From Wind Energy?
According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Texas’ power grid has grown increasingly reliant on renewable energy sources. As of 2017, wind energy accounted for 18.5% of the state’s electricity load while coal only accounted for 9%. This data demonstrates that Texas is taking an active role in combating climate change by embracing renewable solutions that don’t put strain on natural resources like coal does.
The debate over whether wind energy is a beneficial and sustainable source of power or an expensive and inefficient choice has been going on for decades. The pros of wind energy are that it is clean, renewable, creates jobs, lowers electric bills, and more. The cons of wind energy are that the turbines are large and need to be installed miles away from populated areas. Wind turbines can also kill birds who fly into them.
