This is a watershed moment for Texas - for the first time ever, solar supplied more electricity than coal in 2025.

I will say it again: At this rate, TX will likely decarbonize its electricity sector faster than CA.

TX clean electricity is growing at 13%,m more than twice that of CA's at 6%.
Texas solar power surpassed coal in 2025 for the first year ever. Here's why.
In 2025 — for the first year ever — solar arrays provided more electricity to Texas’ main power grid than coal-fired power plants.

Fog lingers in Sonoma Valley as seen from above in sunny Sugarloaf Ridge State Park on Saturday, Dec. 6. Temperature inversions have gripped Northern California in recent weeks, with sunny, warm weather in the mountains and cold, foggy conditions in the valleys.

Did not know Sean Penn is mentioned in Vineland (p.378) published in 1990, the Pynchon novel that inspired One Battle After Another. No wonder PTA had to cast him!
