My apologies, version 2 or 3 of your comment did say that. Thank you for removing the accusation. With regards to the governor, Texas is a little different. The Governor serves year around, according to their term but mostly applies policy and sticks within the budget that the Legislature (only serves every other year) sets. In past terms, the Legislature have expanded renewables quite successfully (as noted above) and I hope that trend will continue. Or you can focus on "omg a politician said something bad!" but I hope I don't need to convince you that what politicians say and the policies they implement are often unrelated.

> My apologies, version 2 or 3 of your comment did say that. Thank you for removing the accusation. No worries, though I actually have no idea what you're referring to. The only part of your comment that I can remember replying to was that single quote from you (which is still there). The subsequent edits in my comment were just adding links & expanding on them and trying to summarize their relevant points succinctly. It must've been a misunderstanding since that wasn't the intention of anything I wrote. > With regards to the governor, Texas is a little different.

Again, this means some of the vocal ones have limited control. I don't know the power (ha) vs. size of each faction, but I'm not under the impression this is happening without a fight: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/energy/article/Texas-bill-would-tax-wind-solar-generation-but-15719128.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/energy/article/Tex...
