Experts warn of the risks of relying solely on renewable energy.
“Our population is growing a great deal in Texas. So our energy needs are really expanding greatly,” said Robert Miggins, co-founder and CEO of solar company Big Sun Solar.
In recent weeks, record-breaking summer heat has led to a record breaking demand for energy statewide. At the same time, solar and wind farms performed at a critical moment, producing more than 31,000 megawatts of renewable energy — the most ever. Dr. Taylor Collins is an energy economics researcher at the University of Incarnate Word, and the chair of the Economics & Management department. He says the process to get renewable energy across Texas isn’t flawless.
