So now let's get into 00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:17.090 the Texas Wine Scene news. In a recent article 00:03:17.090 --> 00:03:19.889 in the online publication The Drinks Business 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:23.969 by Sarah Nisch entitled Texas Wine Country Fights 00:03:23.969 --> 00:03:27.689 Battery Storage Sites, it mentions how some residents 00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.990 of Gillespie County are fighting the proposed 00:03:30.990 --> 00:03:34.669 installation of lithium battery storage units 00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:38.639 across their prime terroir. At the heart of the 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.699 issue is Empire Energy, its plans to build a 00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:45.819 1 ,000 -acre solar farm and battery -in -age 00:03:45.819 --> 00:03:50.319 storage system, or BESS, in the Texas Hill Country 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.919 wine growing region. Empire Energy is a global 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.729 developer of renewable energy assets headquartered 00:03:57.729 --> 00:04:01.889 in Singapore, focusing on solar, wind and battery 00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:05.389 storage projects with operations across various 00:04:05.389 --> 00:04:08.569 countries including the United States, Australia, 00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:14.129 India and the UK. John Love and over 500 other 00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:17.189 residents of Gillespie County have started local 00:04:17.189 --> 00:04:22.000 resistance movement via the Fight FBG Solar and 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.180 online Facebook group to stop the construction 00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:28.240 project through lobbying governing authorities. 00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:32.279 Love said, Why would you put this size of a project 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.800 here in the middle of the state's burgeoning 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.920 wine industry area? And why put it in the best 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.600 tourist destination in the state? I mean, it 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.470 doesn't make any sense. He goes on to say, I 00:04:43.470 --> 00:04:46.110 felt an obligation to get organized and give 00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:49.290 some people at least some idea of how they can 00:04:49.290 --> 00:04:53.439 go forward and some sense of hope. According 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.000 to the article, Texas Monthly detailed how Texas 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.819 has surpassed California this year to become 00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:03.959 the leading store of batteries in the United 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.120 States with 18 ,000 megawatts of power which 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.839 is enough energy to power more than 3 million 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.839 homes. The article also mentions that Texas is 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.860 home to a growing wine region that is beginning 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:22.420 to attract investments such as the Waldorf Astoria 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:26.379 Hotel, the Kempton Hotel with a 22 -acre mixed 00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:30.220 -use development called The Muse, and the Sycamore, 00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:34.860 the 117 -acre project that will house the very 00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:39.800 popular Salt Lick BBQ restaurant. Winery owners 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.120 are concerned that the battery storage units 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.259 will be an eyesore in their otherwise unspoiled 00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:49.660 Texas Hill Country views. So stay tuned for the 00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:52.100 latest developments in this Hill Country story. 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.240 In a recent press release, the Texas Hill Country 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.019 Wineries has announced that they're taking their 00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:03.660 Texas Hill Country Wineries Roadshow to Dallas, 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:07.699 Texas on Friday, November 6th.
