DALLAS — Wind turbines supplying energy to homes and businesses will one day line Texas’ 376-mile coastline if the state’s Land Office Commissioner has his way.
The turbines will stand about 10 miles offshore, enough to preserve the treasured view but close enough to make coastal wind power an affordable energy alternative still missing in the United States, Commissioner Jerry Patterson (search) said.
Last month, the office announced a deal with a Louisiana contractor to build 50 turbines designed to power about 40,000 homes.

so a single turbine can power 800 homes?
that is pretty good.
