Yes! Solar power in Texas:

[applegrove]

Looks like clean power isn’t a woke scam after all.

1. Yeeeehaaaaa!!!!!

[surfered]

2. Wind and solar make up 46% of generation during the day

Natural gas is in second place

[TheRickles]

9. Impressive numbers for Texas. Thanks.

[surfered]

14. I'm as surprised as anyone, but the state has an abundance of wind and sunshine.

[gay texan]

3. Cue the haters

Solar and wind bad, nuke good

[Deuxcents]

4. Data centers should be regulated to solar energy unless or until they quit building them

[littlemissmartypants]

10. How do you propose solving the water usage conundrum?

[Deuxcents]

12. The thread was about solar energy. Water is a whole other issue

[popsdenver]

15. Water they use is another MAJOR issue

esp here in the South West, which is having a drought like never before in History......

The water usage by these monstrosities is HUGE.......And the Utility companies give them electrical rates, that are so low, they are mind boggling.......With the Water Depts dropping their rates to them alot.......

The Water and Electricity rates are way way down for them, and they are raising the Residential Rates to make up for it....

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. That's infuriating.

Other businesses pay surcharges and higher rates than residential. Why are they giving billionaires yet another break??

[popsdenver]

21. If I am not mistaken

they have lowered the utility rates, at least here in Colorado, for the businesses to pay near the same as Residential..........

The Colorado PUC was put in place originally to protect and safeguard the public from Utility monopolies, now it is protecting the corporations..........it is appalling what they have allowed Xcel energy to get away with this past 20+ years.....Along with Denver Water........

There are a Tsunami of thing being done around america that are never reported in the mainstream media........
The main stream media in the U.S. is 95% owned/operated by Republicans or Republican Corporations......

17. Texas is building these "farms" for data centers. They have more

data centers now than any other state by a mile. Guess what for?

This is a Duke Energy enterprise, one of the most corrupt, biggest polluting companies on the planet.

Nothing happens in a vacuum. They are known as cavalier in their consideration of valuable resources. We have them to thank for PFAS in our water.

Are there other considerations you would like me to share?

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. I'd rather see them banned altogether.

I have yet to see how the current way things are going will ever benefit ordinary people.

[Deuxcents]

22. I agree. If I had any power to make any decisions, I'd ban em all. All I can do is voice my opinion and protest

5. Red States Secrets

My wife and I have traveled (RVed)across this country from west coast to east coast and back 6 times in 7 years and the red states have a ton of solar and wind farms. We are always amazed because they are the ones that talk shit about renewable energy. They always make it sound like the blue states are silly to push for solar and wind while they seem to be going full steam ahead. We'll drive for miles and miles past wind mills too many to try to count. Same with solar. It may not be miles but you can watch them across fields until you can't see any further. We love to see it but ask ourselves why don't we hear about this. Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa and more. Are they playing us?

[erronis]

8. I'll bet the ones who talk shit about renewables are the ones in the pay of the fossil fuel people.

Mainly media, politicos, and lobbyists. They're great at generating wind and gas....

[popsdenver]

19. This all started over 46 years ago, my friends.......

Carter installed solar panels on the White House, HWBush had them torn down immediately after corruptly installing Reagan as their pawn/frontman.....A big kiss to the oil industry.......

[BidenRocks]

6. Do you hear it?

Chump's bulldozers are coming!

[OrlandoDem2]

7. I hope every large parking in America soon has this!

They could power our malls, theme parks, universities, football stadiums and so much more!

[popsdenver]

20. Trump's administration CABAL

just paid off some other country???? to NOT INSTALL THEIR PLANNED SOLAR INSTALLATION IN AMERICA......

[littlemissmartypants]

11. Duke Energy...

One of the biggest polluters on the planet. Thank them for the PFAS in your dwindling water supply.

[Morbius]

13. Coal has to go.

It's inefficient and really, really filthy. If not for Republican support, it would be gone now.
