"I am honored to receive this award," said Senator Cruz. "Texas leads the nation in both renewable and fossil energy production, and I'm proud to represent a state that understands the importance of utilizing all forms of our energy resources.

The rapid growth of wind in our state has helped to ensure Texas families and businesses have access to affordable, reliable electricity, all while powering job creation and new opportunities in the state's rural communities," said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO of Tri Global Energy.
"Senator Cruz understands the positive impact of wind energy in Texas, and it was important to us to recognize his leadership," said Billingsley.
