Curiously, Texas has been leading the charge thanks to our artificially high energy prices.
Nat Gas collusion has made wind and solar pay huge dividends.

I didn’t realize how big of a solar state we were until I drove out through west Texas. At one point the rolling planes turn blue and you stop and realize it’s solar panel farms for miles.

It’s free money. You’d be crazy not to put up panels at $.20/kwh

Unfortunately my apartment complex wouldn’t be too keen on me mounting panels on my street facing balcony lol

Obviously, the trick is to be a West Texas land baron, rather than an inner city renter.
