I can’t believe the ghouls in the Texas government let anyone past their ideological minefield to even get the permits signed, much less build the thing.

You would be very surprised by the hypocrisy in Texas.
While they are saying all this ridiculous anti green stuff:
“Texas ranks first in the nation for wind power generation, second for solar power generation, second in the nation for battery storage, and third in the nation for the number of electric vehicle registrations through 2023, according to the online Renewables on the Rise 2024 dashboard released on Wednesday by Environment Texas Research & Policy Center.”
Shhh, don’t draw too much attention to it or the fucktard republicans will try to kill it.

Rick Perry said “Energy is energy is energy” and pushed to modernize the grid. It had some successes like lots of generation from renewables. But no new nukes and the coal plants still chugged along.

The amount of energy, created through burning fossil fuels, required to run the things offsets the benefit. This is Texas greenwashing burning energy for no reason.
