Texas may be a fossil-fuel capital, but wind and solar power have been dominating the growth in electricity generation, and storage batteries are coming on fast.
The momentum for a greener Texas is about to gain even more traction, thanks to a federal climate law enacted this week.
Known as the Inflation Reduction Act, the law features $386 billion in investments in energy and climate change. That includes $161 billion of tax credits related to clean electricity, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
