Texas produces more electricity than any other state, in fact more than 2x as much as the 2nd place state: https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=TX https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=TX (ctr+f for 'Texas produces more electricity than any other state')
Texas is the #1 producer of renewable energy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_renewable_electricity_production https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_renewab...
Texas's energy position is enviable, and shows a state leveraging its natural advantages rather than coasting on them.
- kibwen 2y agoIn terms of addressing climate change (which is already negatively affecting Texas), what matters is not the amount of renewable generation, but the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

- delfinom 2y agoYea the one benefit to Texas "deregulation" is its alot easier for them to build infrastructure. In NY, NIMBYs block basically everything and it's both political parties.
