Major Local Employer Signs Up for Wind Power - Wild Texas Forums: Parks, Travel & Recreation

USAA, a major local employer (headquartered here in San Antonio, Texas) -- one I used to work for and Justin still does work for -- is taking a leadership role in supporting wind power. Awesome! So proud of them for taking this step!

Quote:

USAA will buy about 2.7 million kilowatt hours of wind energy a year from CPS — enough electricity to power the entire city of San Antonio for a 24-hour period or an amount equal to what it would take to power 200 San Antonio homes for a year.

Yes, I saw that the other day. That is great news and demonstrates great leadership on the part of USAA.

We signed up for CPS windtricity to provide a portion of our home's electrical power.

With the current recession, prices of energy are dropping to levels not seen in several years. But...once this economy gets going again, $140 bbl oil and $4 a gallon gasoline will look like a dime store bargain. We have got to get moving on renewable energy sources such as windtricity.
