image: Power Trip If you live in Texas or have ever visited during the summer, you know it’s boiling hot with little relief. I grew up in the Lone Star state, but I still remember how every July I’d feel like I’d stepped into an oven just by opening the back door. But the heat doesn’t stop Channel One! Shelby and I packed extra sunscreen and flew to Galveston, Texas, to get started on a big, new series we’re working on. This one’s about energy – the different kinds we use, where it comes from and the politics associated with it. We kicked off our Texas road trip by visiting a retired offshore oil platform in Galveston. Then we drove to Austin to check out a natural gas lab at the University of Texas, and we finished things off by climbing a wind turbine at the world’s largest wind farm in Roscoe, a small town in central Texas. Here’s a short video with some of the highlights of our Power Trip.
