– why are there no wind turbines in Austin Texas?

347 viewsOtherTechnology

It’s windy almost everyday here and our energy provider is constantly sending texts to conserve energy. Guessing it has something to do with the oil presence in the state but genuinely baffled given how far Austin is from “traditional Texas”

Like someone else said wind speeds in Austin aren’t that impressive. As someone who grew up in the panhandle of Texas (with hundreds of wind turbines and oil fields) every day was 10-15mph wind, and a windy day was 25mph+ sustained winds.
