Great looking indeed !
And strange how wind patterns draw texas frontiers somehow, with a kind of four points corner on the north west point
By the way, below link to a call towards french presidential candidates regarding peak oil :

Stuart: We see lots of big wind generators inland from San Francisco and Palm Springs, places in the North American sphere of things that look calm. So what gives? Are these sites with big windmills (Altemont Pass, Suisun Bay, etc) local windy spots too small to show on the NA map? Does transmission of electricity cost so much that you place expensive wind mills where there isn't so much wind to save on transmission costs? Please edify me. Thanks, Don
A bit in the same vein, NASA ocean current time lapse :
