Iowa has more renewables than CA but has cheaper electricity prices than the national average. There are a few examples like this that prove that the inference you're attempting to make is symptomatic of stupidity.

I didn’t assert causation.

Does Iowa have the same heavy handed government regulations to strictly build out renewables and take non renewable power plants offline?

I agree with you, Texas has the most renewables, and power is relatively cheap. The problem is the strict regulations prevent utilities from make better economical decisions.
