I live in California, but grew up and went to undergrad school in Texas. It’s funny how people out here perceive Texas as being redneck and backwards.

Texas is a big state, about the size of France. It has nearly every type of ecosystem imaginable, and people as varied as any. It’s interesting to note that Texas is one of the biggest producers of wind power in the country. I like the idea of wind power a lot, though I’m not without reservation.

But if people begin to see that Texas is more than oil wells and cattle, then that makes me pleased.
