Excellent information on Mustang Island's leap into the wind farm business!  Thanks, Keith.

Via Keith McMullin, Broker/Realtor (Port Aransas Realty, Inc):

PORT ARANSAS, Texas - The Texas General Land Office (GLO) announced in a Press Release on Thursday that a newly formed company Baryonyx successfully won the bidding for two offshore wind farm leases.  The leases are located off the coasts of Mustang Island and South Padre Island and could become the biggest offshore wind farms in the nation.

The Corpus Christi Caller Times reported that the 500+ foot tall wind turbines would be visible from the shore of Mustang Island.

 Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Look at Texas with me just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it they know what it is.  It's Texas.  Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt and he'll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You might get it maybe after a second or two, but who else would? And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?

In every man, woman and child on this planet, there is a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride off in a pickup. There is a little bit of Texas in everyone.

Texas is the Alamo. Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the cause of freedom.

We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie and Davy Crockett, and do you know why?  Because those men saw a line in the sand and they decided to cross it and be heroes.

John Wayne paid to do the movie himself . That is the Spirit of Texas.

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna at San Jacinto.

Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett and Sam Houston National Forests.

Texas is breathtaking mountains in the Big Bend.

Texas is the unparalleled beauty of bluebonnet fields in the Texas Hill Country.

 
Texas is floating the rivers of the Hill Country on a hot summer day.
 

Texas is the beautiful, warm beaches of the Gulf Coast of South Texas.
 

 
Texas is beaches you can drive on and have many memorable bon-fires with close friends.
 

  
Texas is that warm feeling you get when someone asks where you're from.

Texas is the shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.

Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork.

Texas is Mexican foods like nowhere else, not even Mexico.
 
Texas is chicken fried steak and world famous Bar-B-Q.
 

Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, the Ballpark in Arlington and the Astrodome. (guess now the Reliant Stadium too)..

Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Ann Richards, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Farrah Fawcett, Janis Joplin, Sandra Bullock, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Eva Longoria, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H.. W. Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and let's not forget GEORGE STRAIT- PANTERA, the Big Bopper, Tex Ritter, George Jones, Clay Walker, Mark Chestnut, to name ONLY a few.

Texas is great companies like Dell Computer, Texas Instruments, EDS and Compaq, Whataburger, Southwest Airlines, Bell Helicopter and LOCKHEED MARTIN AEROSPACE, Home of the F-16 Jet Fighter and the JSF Fighter, Valero.

Texas is NASA.

Texas is huge herds of cattle, beautiful horses and miles of crops.
 
Texas is home to the world famous King Ranch.
 

Texas is home to the most amazing sunsets of gold over an empty field.  

Texas is hundreds of deer running around neighborhoods and fields.

Texas is skies blackened with doves and fields full of deer.

Texas is a place where towns and cities shut down to watch the local high school football game on Friday nights and for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and for the night In Old San Antonio River Parade in San Antonio.

To drive across Texas is to drive 1/3 the way across the United States.

Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies, and modern cities.

If it isn't already in Texas, you probably don't need it.  

No one does anything bigger or better than it's done in Texas .

By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U...S. that can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. Flag. Think about that for a second. You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland, California, or Maine, and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17 feet. You fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Klein Oak High or anyplace else at 20 feet, the Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why?  Because it is the only state that was a Republic before it became a state.

Also, being a Texan is as high as being an American down here. Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in Washington, D.C. And we can divide our state into five states at any time if we wanted to!We can become a republic again at any time the voters of Texas choose, and we included these things as part of the deal when we came on.
That's the best part, right there.

Texas even has its own power grid!! And don't even lie to yourself... Did I mention Live music capitol of the world?

If you are a REAL TEXAN, you won't even need to be told to pass this on.
 
GOD BLESS TEXAS!
 

Sunset at the birding centerJust when you think that you have seen everything on this low barrier island off the coast of Texas, you look up and a single bright pink Rosiette Spoonbill decides to reward you with a fly by!  You may ask yourself , 'was that a flamingo??'  But it was not......  It was our very own Texas Rosiette Spoonbill.  The bird makes it's home along the coastal marshes of Texas.  Come down for a look see.  Maybe we can help you make your nest along the Texas Gulf Coast too!

I heard a neighbor say that living in Port Aransas has helped her daughter's allergies quite a bit!  I was curious as to how in the world that connection was made.  So, she mentioned the fact that the winds predominantly flow over hundereds and hundereds of miles of open water so it is very clean air and she asserted it has more oxygen too!  That is why many people who visit Port Aransas experience a break from their allergies.

 

With prevailing winds off the Gulf of Mexico, we do have a breezy environment here. So much so that I would like to have my own wind turbine!  But now I'm realizing that our breezy days are just one more good thing about Port Aransas!
