Solar, Wind, & Batteries Providing Texas with Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tax Revenue

Credit to Author: Zachary Shahan| Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2025 04:58:36 +0000

There’s a growing war on renewable energy, particularly in “red” districts and states in the USA. One of the things that is often bewilderingly forgotten by those attacking renewable energy is the enormous tax revenue (and overall economic benefits) solar, wind, and battery storage projects provide. A new report focused … [continued]
