I wonder what the world would look like today if the GOP was not so obsessed with power for power's sake that it became a bunch of AGW denying idiot-assholes simply because people on the left said we should take climate change seriously.
I'd bet that at the very least, we'd have far more advanced, widespread, and cleaner non-fossil energy. One of the many benefits this would have has obvious play in the invasion of Ukraine and our response to it.
In the race to build renewable energy projects in 2021, Texas lapped the competition. The state had 7,352 megawatts of new wind, solar and energy storage projects come online during the year, according to a report issued this week by the American Clean Power Association, a trade group. The...

"...The runner-up, California, brought 2,697 megawatts online.
... Texas also is the leader when ranking the states on how much wind, solar and storage they have under construction or in advanced development; Texas has 19,918 megawatts, followed in the distance by California, with 13,663 megawatts.
Texas can claim, with ample evidence,
to be the renewable energy capital of the United States. This is despite also being the fossil fuel capital of the United States,
and having political leaders who go out of their way to defer to oil and gas..."

Elon Musk Criticizes Twitter Executive, Drawing Employee Backlash
Twitter’s prospective owner used the platform to mock the company’s top legal boss over the company’s alleged political bias

"Elon Musk, whose
takeover bid for Twitter Inc. was accepted two days ago, c
ontinued to use the site to criticize executives there, culminating in a meme Wednesday that mocked the top legal boss’s response to accusations of the company’s political bias.
The tweets from Mr. Musk, who has an outsize presence on Twitter, with more than 80 million followers, prompted online attacks toward Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s longtime head of legal, policy and safety. Mr. Musk’s critique escalated
despite an agreement as part of the takeover deal not to disparage the company or the people who work there.
On Wednesday, Mr. Musk tweeted an image of Ms. Gadde, overlaid with text that repeated allegations that Twitter has a left-wing political bias. Mr. Musk’s followers and others on Twitter soon retweeted his message more than 20,000 times, and some added racist and sexist messages directed at Ms. Gadde, including that she should be fired and should go back to India.
Twitter didn’t respond to requests for comment. Mr. Musk and Ms. Gadde didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The episode delineates the
tension underlying Mr. Musk’s imminent ownership of one of the world’s most influential social-media networks. Mr. Musk often directs his combative style on Twitter at people he disagrees with, which can lead to pile-ons by his fans. Twitter executives have argued that minimizing harassment and abuse is the best possible way to ensure as many users as possible can speak freely on the site. Mr. Musk has said those efforts have gone too far, and that he would prefer to
allow any speech that isn’t expressly illegal. Mr. Musk’s posts also highlight the difficulties facing Twitter’s board and executives, who are operating according to policies and practices that the company’s future owner disagrees with..."
