By the summer of 1999, nearly $200 million worth of new renewable energy projects will be installed in Texas. This surge in activity can be traced, more than any other factor, to recognition by utility decision makers that Texas' customers undeniably favor renewable energy resources over conventional resources. This conclusion surfaced from the public input requirements of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP). The eight largest investor-owned utilities in Texas have each used the Deliberative Polling{trademark} process to ascertain what their customers want. While the various utilities represent a diverse cross section of Texans, the poll results produce strikingly consistent trends that provide a consistent and powerful public endorsement for clean energy from renewable resources and energy efficiency.
