Power bills aren't so good, but they're balanced by everything else. I don't know about other cities, but Houston has a very easy to use website that will help you get the cheapest power rates possible.In Houston, the biggest ones are probably at the University of Houston and Rice University. I know UH has tons of options as far as night, weekend, and online courses, and tuition for a resident of Houston is pretty low. Dallas has SMU and UT-Dallas (dannyalcatraz said University of Dallas, but I think he meant UT-Dallas... UD is a small liberal arts Catholic school). Austin has, obviously, UT. Each of the cities have more, smaller schools, but those five are probably the main ones.Hah! Well, that's your choice. There's also good healthy dining options in Houston and Austin (as in, good organic food places and diet-friendly places... I don't know of such places in Dallas, but they may exist). Houston also has, I believe, some of the cheapest good food options, since we have an amazing Chinatown. My Chinese friends tell me its as good as or better than the food in China, and it's one of the best Chinatowns in the US (I'd guess people would say NY and SF are better). Dim sum is a relatively healthy, relatively cheap, Chinese food option.That's very true. But, I tend to think that the 'gaming scene' is more driven by home games than gaming stores--especially nowadays. Gaming stores will tend to have periodic events, and there may be big conventions, but most gaming groups play at home. Houston has some decent gaming stores and a couple of cool cons, but there are very few games that run at stores or at public places. And, that seems to me the case in most cities, so you have to go online and find groups. They're not hard to find, though.Personally, I don't see a big boom happening in clean coal. The big news stories, anyways, are in renewable energy sources. Wind, solar, bio-stuff, and geothermal.</blockquote>
