Austin Energy, the Austin Muni, has a history of betting on promising 
technologies but they have not always been as successful as with wind 
and PV. 
Back in the '80s, AE invested millions in a nuclear power plant and 
ended up getting burned on the deal. This made a lot of residents very 
skeptical when they began talking about putting tax money into wind and 
solar a decade later. A little research and an open mind can go a long 
way.
