That’s an incredible milestone for the Lone Star State!  While February 2026 has seen solar generation records consistently shattered—at times meeting over 50% to 54% of ERCOT's total demand—the momentum is clear: Texas is rapidly becoming a solar superpower. As the grid adapts to this massive influx of renewable energy, there has never been a better time for Texas homeowners to take control of their own power.  Why Texas Solar is Dominating Right Now  The Texas grid is evolving. In early 2026, we've seen:  * Solar Eclipsing Coal: For the first time, solar is consistently outperforming coal as a primary energy source in Texas.  * Massive Infrastructure Growth: Thousands of megawatts of new utility-scale solar are coming online to meet the surge in demand from AI data centers and a growing population.  * Increased Resilience: Solar, paired with the state's rapidly expanding battery storage, is helping the grid stay stable even during winter stress. ...

On February 12, 2026, the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin officially revoked the 2009 Endangerment Finding, a landmark scientific determination that greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten public health and welfare. Described by the administration as the "single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history," the move effectively strips the federal government of its legal obligation to regulate carbon dioxide and methane under the Clean Air Act. Impact of the Repeal By overturning this 17-year-old precedent, the administration has signaled a massive shift in environmental policy:   * Vehicle Emissions: The EPA immediately eliminated GHG emission standards for cars and trucks for model years 2012 through 2027.   * Legal Standing: The finding served as the "legal bedrock" for nearly all federal climate regulations; its removal makes it significantly harder for future administrations to limit pollution from power plants and factories without new legislatio...
