Abstract
Description
This article discusses the beginnings of wind law and national development in judiciary and state law. Identifying it as the state standing at the forefront of wind law, the authors review the development of wind law in Texas. A review of wind-related statutes provides insight into how those statutes (and the lack of others) lead to growth in the wind industry. This article also discusses select wind cases and statutes from other states to further explore how wind law is developing, and it examines areas where case law is lacking, but likely to appear soon.
