An incredible story: When the latest batch of solar plants come on line, Texas will have added more solar capacity per capita in a single year than any US state and any country in the world. Data from @EmberClimate. www.ft.com/content/ef2f...

Then the MAGA nut jobs will bow to the oil interests and ban them.

I would still like the grid to connect to the rest of the country.

Well they're gonna need some way to power all the cameras they're going to need to monitor women's movements in case there's an undeclared pregnancy the state needs to interfere with.

Great to praise Texas for this. As always, the comparison to California requires context: CA has far more rooftop solar than TX and only about half the electricity consumption, so its market for solar power is saturating.

Texas? DAS Texas? Das mit Dallas und J.R.Ewing???? 😳

Why not just lead the way? To stumble out of the blocks - criticizing progression and innovation along the way - then embrace forward thinking ideals in the last furlong is Texas-sized exhausting.

This is the state that asked Ford to donate vehicles with generator capabilities because they were so woefully unprepared for grid issues. IMO this is a big deal regardless of your politics. Energy independence is the future

Texas gone woke!

Fantastic.

Among other things this tells us that the economics - solar+battery is now the cheapest way and will get even cheaper - are finally winning against even the most entrenched fossil-fuel stupidity.
