This doesn’t surprise me a bit. Texas is bigger than California, so it has more room for solar panels. Also, being located farther south means that Texas can generate more electricity with each panel.
most of these are being built in the western half of the state in basically uninhabited desert.

Like after sunset right
Electric power generated from solar panels is one of the less reliable and MUCH more expensive ways to produce electricity. It would not even be economically feasible without HUGE subsidies, and once the subsidies are gone, you have an enormous pile of useless and probably unrecyclable junk that may have to be buried in a landfill somewhere.
Potential is not realized fact.
However reluctantly, the return to nuclear power is inevitable. But with the engineering and design advances in the past fifty years, it no longer has to be the uranium-fueled Light Water Reactors as the main source of nuclear power generation.
Check the literature on thorium-fueled molten salt reactors.
True. They have more room to bury that massive windmills and blades when they go ‘kaput’, which is less than 5 years. Of course, the enviros won’t like that either.
