We're doing the same thing here in Texas. Using the electricity from all those Corpus Christi and Permian Basin farms to make drilling and pumping cheaper.

We refuse to build HVDC or other high efficiency grid cables into the major metro areas. We refuse to sell our electricity surplus onto the national grid. We only want to use it for mining more fossil fuels.
