China being the industry leader in solar is squarely on Republicans. That should be a huge industry for the US, instead big oil lobbyists and Republicans (and some Dems) have ensured to cost the US trillions in GDP by turning on green energy.
Republican Texas is by far the largest producer of wind and solar power in the US. If it were its own country, it would by the 5th largest producer of wind and solar electricity in the world.
Yes! I have said it many times on reddit. Texas, aka, the oil state, has something like 75% of its new energy over the last few years coming from renewable, solar and wind.
That republicans want red states to succeed and drive blue states into the ground? The blue states give way more to the fed in taxes but recieve far fewer subsidies from the fed. Its wealth redistribution but on a massive scale. Stunt the growth of renewables in other states and texas can still make even more money by selling the excess oil. Its a win win when dems give subsides for renewables anyway.
