Texas is in a funny place. They are pumping oil like crazy, but they are building wind like crazy as well.

Look at the City of Austin and the amount of renewables year over year: https://data.austintexas.gov/Utilities-and-City-Services/Gen...

You can see a real-time chart of energy mix here: https://austinenergy.com/ae/about/environment/renewable-powe...

Most days renewables are 50% of electricity consumes. I pay a bit extra for 100% wind- and it's not that much more than 50/50. I could easily see Texas being a majority renewables while at the same time exporting more and more Oil.
