Yes, you and I the electric customers will pay about $4 a month up front for this, but a new wind-transmission project OKed by the state will pipe enough west Texas windpower here to DFW to power up most of the Metroplex on wind alone, even on a hot summer day.
Longer term, we’ll save, in a couple of ways.
First with natural gas prices continuing to rise (state utilities get a fair amount of electricity from NG plants), and not coming down (North America hit Peak Natural Gas earlier this decade), it will ease the burden on fossil fuels.
Second, by reducing greenhouse gases, it could just reduce the load on your AC 20 years from now.
