An article from the Austin-American Statesman from a few days ago:

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not actually a tree-hugging, long-haired hippie. But I do care about the environment, and I do support green companies (most recently, Dell comes to mind), and I do like it when our state gets behind these initiatives to make us less oil-dependent. One of my favorite things about working for Rep. Baxter was the fact that we (as a member of the House Regulated Industries Committee) were very involved in legislation for using public lands for wind energy. Energy/the environment and education are two of my biggest political concerns, and I'm happy that they are at least getting fixed in some degree from the mess we were in just a few years ago. Nowadays, I'm happy to report, the vast plains of West Texas are seeing tremendous growth in electricity-producing windmills sprouting from the ground. It's nice to see the land actually used for something, especially something that really does benefit all Texans involved.
Hopefully, this geothermal energy proposal will get off the ground and some great new technology will come of it that can help us work clean and green even more, so that the beauty that is nature will be preserved for the generations to come.

I think that's only part of the URL because I couldn't access the page.
I heart energy. The Universe of Energy is one of my favorite rides in Disney. I hope they never get rid of it.
No seriously, whenever I stumble upon an article in Discover about energy I always read it. I think new forms of energy are fascinating.
Not a hippie my rear.
