My biggest fear is that Republican political correctness will come to over-regulate and stop the deployment of clean energy. You can already see it at the national level. Texas will have to decide if they like money and the free market more than being politically correct.

You can already see this conflict in all the areas where the new factories have been built from Biden's IRA. These factories generally raise wages quite a bit, invigorate communities that feel like they have been forgotten, but that it's clean energy doing the good is kept on the down-low. To mix metaphors: don't poke the bear, lest the bear cuts off its nose to spite its face.
