Go Solar Texas

Texas has harvested the wind. We lead the nation in wind power—because far sighted legislators passed a plan to encourage it. Now we have a chance to harvest the sun. The Texas legislature is debating a plan for solar power. It could put solar on a half million rooftops and start a new industrial revolution in Texas. Incentives will draw billions in private investment and create thousands of jobs
If we dont act, these projects will go to other states. Tell your legislator is you think its time for Texas to go solar. Visit www.GoSolarTexas.org to learn more.

What a rubbish comment. Does your car use the same amount of fuel when idling as it does towing a trailer? Embedded generation can also assist the transmission and distribution networks, as the source of power is closer to the consumer of power

Wind and solar wont work because the power it generates fluctuates. So you need backup for when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. So wind and solar just puts power plants on standby (they still burn the fuel, but do not generate power) until the wind blows again. It doesn't offset any emissions, in reality, it just adds more in the manufacturing and transporting stages.
