Maybe, but the data speaks for itself. Texas, a huge oil state, is loaded with wind and solar and is leading the country in battery storage right now.
Lot of people died for that pragmatism. Froze to death in the outages of winter storms or overheated in the summer ones. Sustainability was the last resort.
Idaho is as well.
AZ just has some of the dumbest rules in the US WRT to solar. It's a state where every home should have solar panels.
Texas looks _almost_ as underserved by solar as AZ/NM in that map, TBH.
