Wind is indeed green energy. And Texas is irrevocably the top state for that. Both in manufacturing and usage. There are also plans for solar in West Texas. Converting algae to jet fuel is laudable,but jets pollute badly. My question,how is Florida doing in solar and wind?
Florida does nicely with solar__we don't have wind, it spoils the view.
Florida Quick Facts
Florida consumes less energy per capita than all but two other states, but it is the fourth-largest energy-consuming state and uses almost eight times as much energy as it produces.
Florida's many tourists helped make the state the nation's third-highest motor gasoline consumer in 2018, and the third-highest jet fuel user in 2019.
Florida is the second-largest producer of electricity after Texas, and natural gas fueled about 74% of Florida's electricity net generation in 2019.
Coal consumption in Florida's electric power sector fell from about 29 million tons in 2008 to about 9 million tons in 2019, as natural gas-fired power plants replaced older coal-fired units.
In 2019, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy accounted for almost 4.6 million megawatthours of electricity generation in Florida, about half of the state's renewable-sourced generation. That's slightly higher than Texas for commercially resourced Solar. Not sure about residential, we have a lot of that here.
