To answer your question: Texas. Running on a platform of clean energy is political suicide in half of America, particularly in the south.

Texas leads the nation in raw renewable energy production. Solar, wind, and nuclear are hardly maligned there.

You don't seem to realize Texas has huge number clean energy build outs and has been for quite a few years. They lead in wind generation and commercial solar generation.

Clean energy development was doing well, was powering more than half our needs, and was creating more jobs than oil. Guess that wasn’t good enough.

Oh and it reduced our green house gas emissions. That was the catch.

(I got coal rolled just yesterday, in Tahoe. Who knew that was still a thing…)
