State Representative Jim Pitts is pleased to announce the launch of this year's High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS). HAS will enable selected Texas students to explore and become a part of NASA's plan for space exploration, which will send humans back to the moon, then on to Mars and beyond. After the students utilize their math and science skills to complete 10 web-based assignments during the school year, they will travel to Johnson Space center in Houston during the summer and use those same skills to help investigate options for sending humans to Mars alongside their peers and real NASA scientists and engineers.
"This is one of the most outstanding programs our state offers for high school juniors," state Rep. Pitts. "We have had students that participated from various school districts in the Ellis/Hill county region, and each student has felt the program was extremely beneficial."

The Wind Coalition today announced its first annual “Wind Champions”, recognizing policy-makers in Texas who have had an impact on growing the burgeoning wind energy industry in Texas, which is now the largest in the nation.
“Wind energy is becoming a major player, not just in the renewable market, but in competition with all energy sources,” said Wind Coalition executive director Paul Sadler. “Our growth is a reflection of the vision of key policy-makers who have created a tax system that encourages growth, a reasonable regulatory climate with minimal siting requirements, and a wise renewable portfolio standard that is now a model for much of the nation.”
