Texas is the largest oil producer in the United States. Nothing surprising there, but the state is also, perhaps less well known, the largest producer of wind energy. It also comes in second as the country’s largest producer of solar power, behind only California.

Perhaps that makes it a very good example of how energy supply, and the sources of such supply, is predominantly a bipartisan matter. A solidly Republican state is such a large producer of renewable energy after all, something not necessarily associated with so-called red states.
