Mention Texas in the same sentence as energy and most folks will think of the oil and gas industry. But not so for plenty of well-informed lawyers, leading among them Diana Liebmann, a partner in Haynes and Boone, who has developed the firm’s electrical power legal practice from scratch and knows that the Lone Star State ranks at the top of the nation for production of wind energy.
Despite the Trump administration’s potential to shake up the energy industry and strip away federal tax subsidies, which have historically helped the wind industry, Liebmann, who has represented Horizon Wind Energy and others, remains optimistic about wind’s prospects. Liebmann helped explain why others might join Team Wind as well.
