Is oil and gas used for electricity production in the US? Gas for heating I guess. Wind would compete directly with coal, but not directly with oil and gas.

Believe it or not, Texas leads the nation in wind energy and is expanding it at a fantastic rate.

There are a dozen windfarms within 50 miles of my home and a massive windfarm of the coast. My electricity bill rose by 50% a few weeks ago and is due to rise by another 50% today. I'm just hoping that th latest rise was just an April fool joke.

Wind and solar need reliable grid storage to be practical. I am guessing that has something to do with your rising electricity bills

@Spongebob Yes , renewables have their limitations but the main reason for the rise is that natural gas prices have risen dramatically and a large percentage of the UK's electricity is generated using gas. All of the electricity generated goes into the UK national grid and although Scotland produces a very large proportion of it's power from wind turbines it is not separated from the rest.
