GALVESTON, TEXAS - For days, forecasters watched as Hurricane Ike honed in on the Texas coast.

When the storm blew out and the sun finally came up, the devastation in left in its wake was like nothing seen in this part of Texas since the Hurricane of 1900.

There’s a strong wind blowing in coastal Texas. Literally. And energy companies are setting up to harness those breezes and convert them to electricity. North and West Texas already produce more wind energy than anyone else in the country. Now, new wind farms along the coast are starting to pop up.
“It’s like Jed Clampett shooting his gun and hitting oil. That’s what the big wind farms in north Texas are doing. They chose to build on that land because the wind is the best in the country, just like Jed’s land was located where oil bubbled up to the surface. It’s the low hanging fruit,” said Jim Fugitte, President of Wind Energy Corp., a Kentucky based company that is developing a different kind of wind energy product. “There aren’t many areas like that. We have to learn to produce wind energy in areas that have less than ideal wind conditions. That’s where our product comes in.”

Jesse Cancelmo grew up in Philadelphia. He learned to surf and liked it, but during the summer of 1971, he accompanied his parents to their summer home on the island of Bermuda. Because Bermuda is encircled by a coral reef, it didn’t have any good surf spots. Unable to surf, Jesse looked for other entertainment. “I saw several people scuba diving. I took a course at a local resort. After my first dive, I was hooked.” The same reef that prevented surfing made for great diving. “When I saw the fascinating life on the reefs, all the colors, all the variety of fish, I knew I could never describe them well enough to people. I knew I’d have to take pictures.”
