“On April 30, the Texas Economic Development Corporation published a blog post boasting that Texas is ‘rapidly becoming the renewable energy capital of the U.S. … As wind, solar, battery storage, and hydrogen energy continue to expand, the Lone Star State is helping shape a more resilient and diversified national grid’. It may surprise some people that Texas is the American poster child for clean energy. But a fortunate mix of climatic and topographic elements has made it the leading state in the nation for wind energy generation, while second for solar and battery storage. Billions and billions of dollars of investments unlocked those resources, and its business-friendly opportunities … have sparked one of the strangest regional energy revolutions in the world. Sprinkle in generous federal clean-energy tax credits, and the country’s largest industrial and consumer energy market has been booming.” (06/05/25)
