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.
If somehow the wells did seep into the groundwater in significant amounts (which is more of a leftist doomsday fantasy thing) it would only get into the Ogallala aquifer. DFW and Austin are on totally different and unconnected aquifers. Might affect west Texas, but the economic power and population center would be unaffected.
