– why are there no wind turbines in Austin Texas?

349 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”

We do have a thing called power lines that are capable of transmitting electricity. Best to put wind turbine where the wind blows strongest and the land is cheapest which isn’t Austin, and then use power lines to transmit it too Austin.
