Feeling Greener Texas? Is Our State Truly More Eco-Friendly?

Energy usage is always changing day by day. Continuous efforts are being made for ourselves and the nation to make the area around us better. But there is still a long way to go.

According to WalletHub, in the year of 2022, the United States faced 18 disasters, caused by either weather of climate, that resulted in over $165 billion in damages. Various factors, some due to the actions of us, are believed to have made the event worse than anticipated. So the push for better ways to produce energy and protect the environment is at the front of many minds.

But the question remains, where does Texas stand in cleaner energy production? Unfortunately, it seems the Lone Star State has some work to do.
