Texas top state for green energy

While liberals bitch about useless nothings like carbon taxes, Texas is the nations largest producer of green energy.
DNC shills left seething as their regressive policies continue to destroy the country.

America's greenest state is deep deep red
Highway 83, running between North Dakota and Texas, cuts America in half. The road runs mostly through isolated parts of the country, which has earned it the nickname the "Road to Nowhere."

John Davis, a rancher in Menard, Texas, is trying to make his little slice of US-83 a "somewhere" for road trippers. Menard Station opened in September and is gaining a fan base.
On Saturdays, Davis' family heads down to the Station to serve customers Wagyu steak burgers from their ranch outside of town, where seven white wind turbines tower over the cattle, sheep, and goats that graze in the grassland. The giant turbines are also the reason that Davis was able to open up the Station: In 2018, he signed a deal with RES Americas, which was developing 43 wind turbines in central Texas. The Davis' 1,300 acres of windy prairie were an attractive site for some of the turbines, which now crank out 24 megawatts of power.

"Everybody else struck oil. I struck wind," Davis told me.

Deals like Davis' have made Texas — America's oil capital for more than a century — the top producer of renewable energy in the US. The state has long generated the most wind power and is second only to California as a solar-energy producer. While fossil fuel still reigns supreme in the state's energy mix, wind and solar account for a growing share of the total. As of October, wind and solar met between 25% and 41% of Texas' energy demand, depending on the month, according to data from the state's grid operator ERCOT. Add in nuclear power, which doesn't produce greenhouse-gas emissions, and green energy met upward of 50% of the state's demand in some months.
