Texas produces more energy than any other state. It ranks number one in crude oil production and Texas refineries account for one-fourth of the total amount of U.S. petroleum refining capacity. Texas also leads the country in natural gas production, producing approximately 30 percent of the nation’s supply. Over a one-year period from June 2010 to June 2011, the oil and gas industry added over 28,000 jobs to the economy, making up almost 13 percent of job growth in the state over that period. Texas is also the largest producer of wind power in the United States, since overtaking California in 2006. This hearing will analyze the contributions that Texas, particularly South Texas, is making to power the American economy and what could be done to ensure that this progress continues.
