Wind Rankings: Texas is King, but Iowa Breezes Past California

I agree

I totally agree with your assessment NEWTEXAN. Unless you have lived here you'll never understand the "stand on our own two feet" mentality most Texans possess. We are respectful and courteous, good luck finding that in NYC.

I have been stranded in the middle of nowhere Texas a couple times. Both times I had people stopping left and right, asking if they could lend a hand. You just don't find that elsewhere, which is sad. You can dog on my state all you want DaveBronx, but I promise that when or if you ever come to visit the people of Texas will warmly welcome you.

DaveBronx - ultimate retard champion

I recently relocated from NYC to Houston Tx and I wouldn't go back to that sh*thole in a million years. The people there are pretty much like Dave, they have their stereotypes, they are very close minded and they believe the world is against them. Texans on the other hand are "can do" people; when Hurricane Ike passed through Houston, before the storm even subsided, folks were out with their chainsaws clearing their yards and streets of knocked over trees. Had this been NYC, people would sit on their asses for weeks waiting for the DOT to get out there and clear the debris from the streets. Dave, having lived in both cities, I can tell you that your feelings of superiority as well as your deep-rooted stereotypes are completely unfounded. Texas AND Texans kick ass! But you should stay up in NYC...how's that Gov. Paterson working out for you?

STEREOTYPE

"It's a surprise that Texas the oil state is encouraging generating electricity from wind."

Well I'm glad my great state of Texas doesnt fit your stupid, ignorant stereotype. Yeah, we lead the world in wind energy, what is YOUR state doing? Probably nothing really. Shut up.

Good news for the GOP the political party run on hot air. They can actually turn that hot air into something that pays returns. It's a surprise that Texas the oil state is encouraging generating electricity from wind.
