Hot on the heals of billionaire oilman Boone Pickens announcing a 4000MW wind farm in the Texas Panhandle, Texas' biggest power company TXU has just announced it will build a 3000MW wind farm in Briscoe County. What's What is more, there are requests for more than 28000MW of new wind capacity, in Texas. At the end of 2007 Texas will have 4500MW of wind power. Many of the projects are expected to use storage technologies such as large scale compressed air.

Beyond Zero Emissions would like to see Australian governments looking to the Texas, California, Florida and European models that have already been established, and catching up to be a leader once more in Renewable Energy technologies.
