Don't Blow It, Texas

The Devils River runs wild and free - just like Texas.

Now there's a real risk of developers scouring 140,000 acres of conservation land with massive transmission lines and huge industrial turbines.

Everything Texas Stands to Lose

The Devils River region represents one of the last intact wilderness in Texas. Industrial development threatens not just a river, but our national security, cultural heritage, and the irreplaceable ecosystem that defines this land.

Texas' Last Wild River

The Devils River flows crystal clear through limestone canyons, fed by Edwards Aquifer springs. Proposed transmission lines and wind turbines require deep drilling that threatens the karst aquifer system sustaining this ecosystem.

National Security Threat

Laughlin Air Force Base trains 350+ pilots annually, nearly half of America's fighter pilots. Foreign-owned proposed transmission lines and wind turbines create radar interference and restrict training airspace, weakening our military readiness, and could provide our adversaries to harm our interests.

Ancient Cultural Heritage

The Lower Pecos Canyonlands contain 2,000+ archaeological sites including elaborate rock art dating back 4,000 years. Blasting for proposed transmission lines and wind turbines foundations will irreversibly damage these prehistoric treasures. Archaeologists agree that these drawings represent the oldest "books" in North America.

Critical Wildlife Corridor

Millions of Mexican free-tailed bats roost in nearby Fern Cave. The proposed transmission lines and wind turbines sit directly in migratory pathways for endangered birds, bats, and monarch butterflies — and 700 foot tall wind turbines are a death trap.

Texas Landowner Rights

Local families have protected 150,000+ acres through voluntary conservation easements. Foreign corporations shouldn't override generations of careful stewardship for quick profits that leave Texas. Val Verde ranks #2 out of Texas's 254 counties in acreage under conservation easement.

The Largest Capacity Line in Texas

The 160ft height of these transmission towers will surpass anything previously built before.

The Proposed Route

Meet the proposed route for the AEP / CPS Howard-Solstice Transmission line, which would be the largest capacity line in the whole of Texas.

Spain's Greenalia is Coming to Texas

We thought we won in 2021. The Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act blocked Chinese, Russian, North Korean & Iranian companies from accessing Texan critical infrastructure. But there was one problem: it didn't exclude European companies

Enter Greenalia, a Spanish renewable energy corporation that acquired the Blue Hills Wind project from the blocked Chinese billionaire. They're exploiting a loophole in Texas law to build 46 massive turbines, each 700 feet tall, directly in the Devils River watershed.

The Current Status

Right now, Greenalia is pushing forward with plans for 46 massive turbines while ignoring every local voice. The Devils River Conservancy's opposition letter sits unanswered since January 2023. The Spanish executives who admitted knowing nothing about our region's significance are racing toward ERCOT approval. They've found their strategy: acquire both the land and development rights to sidestep Texas law. If we don't act now, the project could become active with Ercot, and the damage becomes irreversible. The time to act is now.

Don't Blow It Texas is a coalition-driven campaign protecting the Devils River watershed from inappropriate industrial encroachment development. We support renewable energy and progress but oppose the incursion of the Howard-Solstice Project of 765kV lines across virgin country to electrify the Permian Basin as well as the negative effects that wind turbine fields has on the local ecosystem and environment.
