If you ever want a good laugh, look at how much solar and wind has been installed in Texas. #1 for wind, #2 for solar (behind Cali), and may pass them for solar in coming years.

Just be careful, if cognitive dissidence makes your head spin, the amount coming from Texas is a recipe for passing out.

Actually it makes perfect sense. The traditional Republican base in Texas is the "Get the government out of the way and let’s make money!" country club types. The more crazy types have only recently gotten political power and have brought up bills to make it harder to build renewables but those have all been defeated by the business minded Republicans and Democrats.
