With operations around the world — three wholly owned subsidiaries
in Europe, majority ownership
in a joint venture
in Japan, and distribution agreements with independent contractors
in other nations —
Wind River faces corporate tax rates that can be much higher
than those for companies that operate only
in the United
States.
Texas has more
wind power
than any
other state in the
nation (and therefore almost every
other country on Earth), so it is worth noting that his hands - off approach — for example, Texas has a deregulated energy market — has not hurt that industry
in his home
state.
