Posted at 7:36 AM on 19 Feb 2008 An oil refinery in Big Spring, Texas, exploded Monday for as-yet-unknown reasons, injuring four workers and sending large plumes of smoke into the air.

Posted at 2:50 PM on 04 Dec 2007 The state bird of Texas is the mockingbird. The state song is "Texas, Our Texas."

Now, five Texas mayors have called for the Lone Star State to have an official state light bulb: the compact fluorescent. Which, while laudable, sheds no light on why Texas is the only ...

The Long and Windy Road California is no longer leading the pack on wind energy	Kate Galbraith	28 Jun 2007	Main Dish
Last year, California suffered the ultimate indignity in its quest to be the "greenest state." It was passed by red Texas -- the oil heartland -- for the title of state with the most wind-power generating capacity. The numbers get even more depressing. Last year, California's wind capacity grew at a slower rate than any of the other top 10 wind-producing states. Texas's w ...
