Texas is synonymous with energy development. Texas is the No. 1 wind energy generator in the country, producing ¼ of the national total and over 17.5 percent of all in-state electricity generation. Solar power generation is growing as well. And electrical lineworkers will be needed as long as we have electricity, so this career path is a good one. Choose your career, and harness your power!
