Long response but part of the truth. The truth requires a whole semester or lecturing:
•For offshore/ remote fracking.
•It’s cheaper not dealing with maintenance with old utility infrastructure. Remember the “big freeze” that killed people?
•The smartgrid project- the department of energy’s plan for state’s to use renewable energy, which is why states have been slowly incentivizing residential solar power generation. In California we already see the power grid following Germany’s model of local generation and battery storage, Florida and Texas will be next in 8-10 years down the road.
The only reason why things aren’t going faster is because utility companies lobby so much money to local government, so that they can continue to make money. Don’t believe me? opensecrets.org
look up Sempra (oncor, SDGE, SCE, PGE) and they’re lobbying lawsuits.
Nuclear is unpopular with the public and investors want to make money. Wind farms still require old infrastructure use. Solar is the cheapest way, and people make commissions because banks are borrowing money to pay their commissions, if it didn't make sense, banks wouldn’t be involved.
they are building tens of billions worth just to prove it fails and thus own the libs.
Oh, look, it’s a bored Harambe replying to himself again. At least he waited three minutes to respond to himself. I don’t know why it’s so important to him to rage on about conservatives. Lots of liberals flee states like the Socialist Republic of California for the greener pastures of economically freer states. Who wouldn’t if they could?

Never posted as 2600 bro. Just asking a serious question for the anti-clean energy folks here (who are often more right leaning). It seems Texas has fallen for the liberal green propaganda.

Opposing sensible energy policies owns the libs, therefore I must force myself into insane anti-clean energy positions.
Cause it's sunny and windy and easy to build stuff?
They lead the country in oil and natural gas (the latter is literally required to run solar).
How many times have you started some form of this tedious thread? Why not criticize your own state.
It’s not a criticism. I’m just curious why republicans are building renewables if the economics supposedly don’t work and they obviously don’t get credit for the virtue signaling. I suspect Adam smith may be at play here

I can't speak to everything else, but I can for certain say this statement is not true.
To answer your question, Harambe: geography, optimal environment, and an isolated power grid. This doesn't mean solar and wind are replacing fossil fuels, TX is still the largest producer of fossil fuels in the US.
