Question by Dana1981: Should the rest of the country follow Texas’ lead on energy?
Texas’ economy is doing better than most of the rest of the country. The state’s unemployment rate is only 8.2%. One major reason appears to be the transition to low-carbon energy sources.

“As it has for decades, energy is driving Texas’ economy. But it’s not because the state’s wells are gushing crude. In November 2009, Texas wells produced 1.08 million barrels per day, about half as much as they did in the late 1980s. In recent years, natural gas has been undergoing a renaissance. The state’s production rose about 35 percent between 2004 and 2008. And Texas has received a big boost from a different, renewable source of energy: wind.”

“Texas recently surpassed 10,000 megawatts of [wind] capacity, the most by far of any state and enough to power 3 million homes, Sadler says. Wind energy is also powering employment—creating more than 10,000 jobs so far. And it and has attracted foreign companies, including Danish turbine maker Vestas, Spanish renewable-energy giant Iberdrola, and Shell.”

Should the rest of the country follow Texas’ lead on energy and move towards low-carbon sources?

Answer by Person
Of course they should, but it’s not tat easy. A lot of Northern States, unlike Texas, have a lot of alpine environment. This makes huge areas for wind Energy nearly impossible, plus, the snow and ice will destroy them. Although some can use tidal energy not many can. In order to switch, each state must do it on its own tailoring to it’s own conditions.
