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
Texas has emerged as the United States' clean-energy powerhouse as future green energy capacity in the Lone Star State far surpasses other states.
德克薩斯已成爲美國清潔能源強國，未來在獨行星州的綠色能源產能遠遠超過其他州。
The Data: A post on X by Michael Thomas relayed data from the Energy Information Administration.
數據: Michael Thomas 在 X 上發帖，傳遞了能源信息管理局的數據。
Over the next 18 months, Texas is expected to build more clean energy than any other state.

The state will build twice as much clean energy capacity as the next two states—California and Arizona—combined.

在未來18個月內，德克薩斯預計將建造比任何其他州都多的清潔能源。
—— 邁克爾·托馬斯（@curious_founder）2024年7月25日
該州將建造兩倍於加州和亞利桑那州的清潔能源產能。

The data includes projects that have permits and plans to reach commercial operation in the next 18 months.
數據包括計劃在未來18個月內取得許可並計劃達到商業運營的項目。
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.
爲什麼它很重要: 德克薩斯的綠色能源冠軍地位可能會令許多觀察者感到驚訝；儘管其高清潔能源產能被認爲是共和黨州，但實際並非如此。保守派立法者歷史上一直批評綠色能源，傾向於化石燃料。
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，考慮到德克薩斯的地理和氣候，數據並不令人意外。德克薩斯州是面積第二大的州，相對於其他州，它的日照覆蓋面積較高，因爲它位於南部。它也相對平坦，其地形有利於廉價建設。最後，德克薩斯的北部地區是美國尤其爲風的地區。
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.
綠色能源產能的增加是由於該州人口迅速增長所必需的。此外，許多能源密集型的比特幣礦工在該州運營。
