The Evolution of Electricity Generation in Texas

As an expert in the field of energy and electricity generation, I have witnessed the evolution of the Texas power grid firsthand. The Lone Star State has come a long way since the first power plants produced electricity mainly from coal, steam, or hydroelectric power. Today, while Texas still relies on some of these traditional sources, it is increasingly dependent on natural gas and renewable resources, particularly wind energy. In fact, Texas is the largest producer of oil (43%), natural gas (25%), and wind electricity (26%) in the country.
