Do you realize you are part of the global culture war by posting your comment?

Did you know Texas produces more solar energy than California? https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05032026/inside-clean-ene...

Your comment, as appropriate for a culture war is both subtly misleading and also just flat out wrong.

Quote from your own article:

> And if we look at the sum of utility-scale and small-scale solar, California remains ahead.

The more subtle misdirection is obvious from the first sentence:

> Texas, which already leads the country in electricity generation from natural gas, coal and wind, has passed California to become the leader in utility-scale solar.

So they lead on gas, coal, wind and (utility) solar in absolute terms. Which points to them being big and/or power hungry rather than particularly green.

Important to call this out as fans of hands off government highlight Texas as their champion for renewables rollout when they are solidly mid-ranking by percentage. And they had government support for wind under previous Republican governers and all but one federal governments.
