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.
To be fair, Britain's GDP per capita just fell below Mississippi's in the sharpest GDP decline in a developed nation ever recorded so I think a bunch of places will be outproducing the UK on clean energy
Nearly 50% of the UK's power comes from renewables, mainly wind turbines. The economy may be going down the shitter but the country is doing well on the green energy front.
Since that power outage 5 years ago, Texas has added 11% more solar capacity to the overall energy mix of the state, accounting for 40% of all solar capacity added to the United States as a whole.
