The situation in Texas is ironic. After the IRA was enacted, solar, wind, and batteries took off. Texas has now surpassed California in wind & solar. The much maligned ERCOT has been more stable than ever. The removal of the subsidies for renewable energy will put all of that at risk, as data centers, and increased population are also a part of the Texas landscape. Doug Lewin is a Texas expert on the local grid. He would make a great guest. My husband and I are so glad we got solar & batteries in '22. The decision seems especially prescient now...
