    I disagree. Here in Texas, for example, even while politicians push new fossil fuel investments, property owners and private solar companies are deploying small and medium sized photovoltaic projects all over the state. Solar is a higher percentage of our total generation mix every year, 10% of the total last year (<1% 5 years ago), and its growth is dramatically outpacing that of fossil fuels. You won’t see headlines about this, but the market forces are real

      Howdy, fellow Texan. Yeah, even we have realized fossil fuels are kinda a stupid way to power things. It doesn’t help that ERCOT is a shitshow.
