"Texas Led the U.S. in Wind and Solar Energy Production Last Year" [1]

"Red states top a new list of the country's top wind and solar producers."

"A new study from Climate Central shows that the U.S. saw impressive overall growth in wind and solar energy capacity in 2022. Red states, but especially Texas, led the country in clean energy production last year.

The researchers analyzed data from WeatherPower, the organization’s solar and wind forecasting tool, and data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration to learn about clean energy generation in 2022 for the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.

Red states dominated the list of top solar energy producers in 2022".
