Clean Air & Energy

Suburban sprawl and long commutes have made Texas second nationally in gasoline consumption. Many of our urban areas struggle with poor air quality. Dallas, Fort Worth-Arlington, Houston, and San Antonio consistently exceed ozone air quality standards. Texas has great potential for generating renewable energy from sources like solar and wind. Audubon supports responsibly sited wind energy – learn more here.
