User ID: 79436619 United States02/17/2021 07:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80052552 Texas is the No. 1 state in both crude oil and natural gas. Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2019.
 This is a False Flag Blamed on weather Being "No. 1 in crude oil" doesn't help much when you don't have any oil-fired power plants. If you have any, it's very few. It all went to "cleaner greener" natgas and f*ing wind turbines. ERCOT and the Railroad Commission aren't immune from following along on the enviro trends in defiance of common sense. .
