"Again, looks like Tulsa is behind the curve. If we are gonna say we are thinking big, lets do it. Having city services and such be energy efficient is merely a common sense, common approach that everyone is doing,,, no news there, and would indicate a sad state of affairs if it is something we trumpet as "Great news!". San Antonio is getting ready to put in a 400 megawat solar power plant. Thats enough to power 80,000 homes, on top of its efforts to save 250 megawats from new home energy management systems. Solana Az is putting in a large solar farm, Austin is putting in one, etc. etc. And I am sure with San Antonios and other cities recent announcements the size of other solar farms will only increase. And thats only one type of for instance (wind, geothermal, as some others,,, and if your looking at the prices and capacities of the kind of solar of a year or two ago, your waaay behind the curve again). But hey we in Tulsa are in the forefront and thinking big by changing out the light bulbs in City Hall! And we are gonna attract those green businesses to Tulsa, places like San Antonio and Austin haven't got a chance to compete for those companies against our efforts.
