[QUOTE]Originally posted by Luvthatmoney: [QB] "Norex is working with an industry group that brings a reliable history in the wind energy sector as regards the management of operations and logistics as well as access to state and federal government contacts and procedures. Norex's strategic plan is focused on the rapid development of an effectively managed and convergent "green energy" company offering an aligned portfolio of both natural gas and wind power assets. The wind corridor runs from northern Texas through Wyoming to the Canadian border. The Texas panhandle is one of the premier wind energy corridors in the United States due to the low lying topography, constant wind velocity and favorable access to transmission infrastructure. Texas has consolidated its lead over California as the nation's number one wind power State based on installed capacity. In total, Texas wind farms now generate more than 4,300 Megawatts of wind power providing enough energy to serve 1.5 million homes. An extensive Department of Energy study in 2007 said that building wind-based electrical generation capacity in the corridor could provide up to 20 percent of the U.S. power needs and create a potential for 138,000 new jobs in the first year with up to 3.4 million jobs over a 10-year span as the industry matures. As an added incentive, the recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law by President Obama, offers extensive provisions for wind power via government incentives and tax breaks for renewable energy companies which include a 3-year Production Tax Credit (PTC) extension through the end of 2012, an option to elect a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) in place of the PTC and a new $6 billion Department of Energy renewable energy and transmission loan guarantee program, which should fund around $60 billion in principal amount of guaranteed loans. Additionally, the Western Area Power Administration was granted the authority to borrow up to $3.25 billion from the Treasury to build renewable transmission lines in the western United States, including western Texas."
