Fritz, I believe that the credit for wind farm proliferation in Texas can actually be credited to the State (as well as to a lot of wind). Texas has some significant incentives for wind power. I once read how many households could be lit if the state's full potential was realized, and it was quite a few (350,000 sticks in my head).
