At an Energy Crossroads Texas is currently at an energy crossroads. For many years, excess energy production from Texas fueled a sizable portion of the national economy. During the past two decades, however, Texas' steadily increasing consumption has finally caught up with its waning energy production. Renewable energy sources, coupled with efficiency measures, represent a significant potential for meeting Texas' long-term energy demand and offer Texans the chance to maintain their energy independence. Texas Energy Production and Consumption.
Dashed segments represent projections.
It evaluates solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, water, and building climatology energy resources. The study's survey component identifies and reviews information sources relevant to Texas renewables. These include details on fundamental data collection activities such as solar and wind monitoring networks, and a review of significant summary documents, studies, and maps. Finally, recommendations are made to prioritize Texas' future resource assessment needs. This project comprehensively reviews information covering the full range of renewable energy resources in Texas.
