Power Across Texas is pleased to feature in a special web interview, Jack Fusco, President and CEO of Calpine. Did you know that Calpine produces nearly 10% of the states electricity generation? Yet, Calpine produces far less CO2 emissions per megawatt hour than the US utility average.

How is this possible? All twelve of Calpine's Texas power plants use natural gas, which produces nearly half the CO2 emissions as traditional coal power plants.

Why is this a big deal for the growth of the wind energy in Texas? Watch the video to learn more!

In addition, we invite you to take a look at two recent pieces offering counter opinions on the role of the reliance of natural gas for wind power generation.
