Hour One: San Antonio Remote: Wind Power
Texas, better known for its oil wells than wind turbines, is second
in the country -- behind California -- in the amount of energy generated
by wind power. In this hour of Science Friday, live from San Antonio,
we'll take a look at the Texas wind rush. Why is Texas investing
in wind power? And how can other states follow Texas's lead?
