Natural gas (40.5%)
Coal (12.7%)
Other fossil (1.01%)
Nuclear (8.47%)
Renewable - Wind (23.2%)
Renewable - Solar (13.7%)
Other Renewables - Hydro, Biomass (0.18%)
Texas has access to cheap natural gas, which is used when renewable don't deliver. In Texas the price is king.
> Big Oil. Sorry.
I would really prefer high world-wide carbon tax. World-wide because cheap Chinese poly-silicon production for cheap PV is an excellent example of carbon leakage.
