One of the coolest movies of the 1980s, at least according to Jennifer A. Sensiba, the world-not-so-famous film critic, is, a rich developer is trying to get rid of some old people who are in his way of big plans for their little chunk of the city. He can’t move forward because the older couple who owns the building refuses to sell, and the poor tenants living in most of the upstairs apartments refuse to move out.
To put that in perspective, El Paso Electric’s service area , has only ever demanded around 2.2 gigawatts. This was, when many more people were at home than usual and offices were still needing to keep the AC running in the 110-degree heat. What’s California doing over the same period? Only 16 gigawatts. To be fair, California had a big head start on Texas, so putting in 16 gigawatts of power still isn’t going to put it behind Texas when you consider the total, but it does show us that Texas is taking solar seriously. And, it really does make sense, because Texas has some of the best sunlight for making electricity in the United States.
“Energy is not just technological, it’s also social. I think it’s fair to say that Texas is a very Libertarian state while California is more Communitarian – which is not the same thing as Communism. Simply put, the focus is more on the individual in Texas and more on community in California. Policies and regulations that reflect these different world views have emerged in each state over time.
