Steven DeWolf

About Steven

• Born in France—his father’s military service meant that he grew up living all over the world.
• After graduating high school, he attended the Naval Academy, but left only two years later because problems with his eyesight disqualified him from becoming a Navy pilot.
• Received his bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Texas and later received an advanced law degree from the University of Cambridge in England.
• To pursue his love of flying, he received his pilot's license and took up the hobby of flying vintage World War II-era planes.
• In 2002, he got inspired to study wind farm development after writing an article for the Dallas Morning News on how we can limit our dependence on foreign oil.
• Started Wind Tex Energy, a wind-farm development company that now produces five percent of the total wind energy produced in the entire state of Texas and wrote the first book on wind energy law.
• He also went on to form his own law firm and write a novel.
• Sadly, in 2018, shortly after the filming of this interview, Steven died tragically in a plane crash while flying his World War II-era T-6 Texan aircraft at Naval Air Station Kingsville in Texas.
