Texas wants Renewable Energy

Recent polls among Texans show that the majority of the state’s citizens realize the necessity to increase the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources, namely solar and wind power.
In a really interesting development, people are even willing to pay more for alternative energy, because such development is advantageous both for the economy and the environment.
Following along with the nation has never been the way of Texas, more like leading the way if possible, and this is no different. They are in a very unique position with lots of sun hours per year and quite a bit of wind throughout the state to really make themselves heard.
Today the most of energy Texans use comes from oil and natural gas, sources of which may soon deplete.
Fortunately, the natural resources Texas possesses allow the state to make use of alternative energy and help the country to become less dependent on external imports of energy.
The survey conducted among people of all major nationalities, political views and genders suggests that most people support the financial help to develop alternative energy sources; they agree that companies trying to do business in this field require special incentives, such as long-term loans, investments and tax reduction to become independent.
Many of Texan energy companies already have an agreement with the authorities to generate certain percentage of electricity from renewable resources, and Texas citizens believe that such agreements should be obligatory for all the companies producing energy, even if it is more expensive for the state and the people.
The people surveyed also say, they are willing to buy rather expensive appliances for homes to get alternative energy if they help them save on there electric bills over time, which is the whole idea right?
The poll suggests tat energy-saving programs are the fastest and the cheapest way to build up the efficient economy and achieve independence in energy issues. Although these programs require initial capital, they will necessarily pay off in during short period of time.
