Everything's Bigger In Texas: Lone Star State Will Build More Clean Energy Than Next 10 States Combined
Everything's Bigger In Texas: Lone Star State Will Build More Clean Energy Than Next 10 States Combined
The data includes projects that have permits and plans to reach commercial operation in the next 18 months.Texas has emerged as the United States' clean-energy powerhouse as future green energy capacity in the Lone Star State far surpasses other states.
德克萨斯已成为美国清洁能源强国，未来在独行星州的绿色能源产能远远超过其他州。
The Data: A post on X by Michael Thomas relayed data from the Energy Information Administration.

The data includes projects that have permits and plans to reach commercial operation in the next 18 months.
数据包括计划在未来18个月内取得许可并计划达到商业运营的项目。
Why it Matters: Texas' green energy champion status may surprise many observers; its high clean energy capacity is belied by the fact that it is generally defined as a Republican state. Conservative lawmakers have historically criticized green energy in favor of fossil fuels.
为什么它很重要: 德克萨斯的绿色能源冠军地位可能会令许多观察者感到惊讶；尽管其高清洁能源产能被认为是共和党州，但实际并非如此。保守派立法者历史上一直批评绿色能源，倾向于化石燃料。
The data is unsurprising, though, given Texas' geography and climate. It is the second-largest state by area and enjoys high sunlight coverage relative to other states, given its southern location. It is also relatively flat, its topology is favorable for building cheaply. Finally, Northern Texas is an especially windy region of the U.S.
然而，考虑到德克萨斯的地理和气候，数据并不令人意外。德克萨斯州是面积第二大的州，相对于其他州，它的日照覆盖面积较高，因为它位于南部。它也相对平坦，其地形有利于廉价建设。最后，德克萨斯的北部地区是美国尤其为风的地区。
The green energy capacity increase is necessitated by the fact that the state is rapidly growing in population. In addition, many energy-intensive Bitcoin miners operate in the state.
绿色能源产能的增加是由于该州人口迅速增长所必需的。此外，许多能源密集型的比特币矿工在该州运营。
