That's a moronic statement. Texas is the second largest state by land mass. Texas is the second largest state by population. Texas has 3 of the most populous cities in the country. Texas has the 2nd largest port in the country. Texas is the 4th hottest state. Texas has the 2 largest refineries in the US (refineries use tons of energy to process their feedstock liquids).
