⚡ Texas Trivia Tuesday

Here's a fun one for all our fellow Texans:

Do you know which renewable energy source Texas produces more of than any other state?

The answer is Wind!

Texas is the nation's leader in wind energy production, generating enough electricity to power millions of homes and businesses every year. With wide open spaces and strong winds across the state, Texas has become a powerhouse for renewable energy.

At CAPCO Engineering, we're always thinking about how energy impacts the buildings we design—from HVAC efficiency and electrical systems to long-term operating costs. Smart engineering helps buildings perform better today while preparing for the future.
